Donna Helphrey, Vice President, Talent at Go1
Like many recruiters, Donna didn't have her heart set on helping others find their dream job. Instead, she grew into the profession and became a current executive at a multibillion-dollar "unicorn" startup. We look back at her start as a recruiter, from working at a staffing agency to hiring 1,800 people worldwide in a single year at Groupon.
As we explore Donna's career, we dig into how to stand out as a job candidate at a foreign-based company and what it's like as a recruiter and hiring manager responsible for international roles. We tackle the different professional cultures worldwide, like how Australian professionals might be more active in the job search than Americans or Europeans. As a talent and HR executive today, she reveals the incentive structures and KPIs that she has for external recruiting agencies and her own in-house recruiters and how you might negotiate unique benefits or one-of-a-kind total compensation packages in a job search.
