I joined Goodwin because I truly enjoy helping people. Recruiting gives me the opportunity to help people find their dream jobs. I worked with recruiters throughout my accounting career, and I know what a huge difference it makes to have one who truly cares behind you every step of the way.
Lisa Briones joined Goodwin Recruiting in January 2020.
I love my job first and foremost because I can help change lives. I have a new challenge every day from the clients and the candidates, as well. Similarly, from when I was in operations, it keeps me thinking outside the box -- I love hearing the stories from my candidates about how I have helped them in their career paths.

I joined Goodwin Recruiting because the culture is second to none and the company core values align with mine.

There is no greater feeling than placing a candidate in that perfect position that will afford them professional development and happiness.
