Amanda Landrum is a career-minded woman with a passion for the staffing industry in its entirety. She holds strength in relationships with peers and clients alike, in addition to a powerful determination for success. Amanda enlisted in the US Army as a 31B, military police officer, upon high school graduation and gained many life lessons throughout her enlistment that she will forever carry. Once an injury cut her enlistment short, she decided to take on a passion of hers that will forever be held dear to her heart. Amanda began working in the staffing industry in support roles and earned her way to the top of the latter. She began as an administrative assistant in a field office for the largest staffing company in the US. After working in that role, she began operating in the back-office, growing an understanding for the “bigger business picture” in the staffing industry, all of the moving parts, and how each and every piece effects the goal to dominate recruitment as a true leader. Once she had an educated and tenured understanding of staffing, she began recruiting with The Marks Group as a Technical Recruitment Manager. Amanda is married with a young daughter; her family is her drive to be successful. She is driven, committed, loyal, and honest. She is also passionate, artistic, and lively. Amanda loves enjoying art, dance, skydiving, and paramotoring with her family. She plans to further her career in technical recruitment and to have a satisfying impact on our generation’s industry leaders in a field that will forever change our future.

9. Why recruiting? Recruiting is a challenge, something that requires focus; it truly provides a feeling of accomplishment and an investment of diligent work. Recruiting is my pride point and something that I really hold ownership of. If it were too easy, I simply wouldn’t enjoy it as much as I do. The technology industry is vastly changing, which creates the opportunity for a new challenge each and every day… if not more than one in a single 24-hour period. Having an impact on our generation’s industry leaders in a field that will forever change our future is something to be very proud of.
