roles, including beta testing
high volume end user products
with Fortune 500 companies
– “… it’s
all about listening and translating
input into requirements, and
recognizing that requirements
are both quantified and perceived.
Bottom line, products are
about the people who use them
– when technology requirements
are met, it’s still
about people.”

career trained her to focus
on career goals and personal
satisfiers of her clients.
"I still think like
a manager. I'm a coach and
an enabler. I listen, I
ask questions, and I help
my clients clarify their
objectives and understand
their options. I'm also
aggressive and straightforward.
I'm honest and I pull no
punches. I'll do everything
I can to remove any obstacles
that might stand between
you and that perfect job."
Her clients value her
empathy and sense of humor

| Holly
Abernethy brings to Blackbird
Technical Staffing an impressive
prior career in both corporate
recruiting and HR management,
focused on building enhancing
technology companies by staffing
them with the best and brightest
top performers.
Holly has always recognized
that no matter how good the business
plan, it’s the caliber of the
people who determine the outcome. |
|
Holly's 15+
year career in technology companies
include:
| • |
10+
years as a corporate/contract
recruiter who brought exceptional
technical talent to companies
ranging from incubator stage
start-ups (e.g., JuniorNet)
to established companies (Fidelity,
Kodak, Landmark Communications/WSI).
|
| • |
3 years as
an HR director. “…though I
enjoyed having oversight of
a department and its many functions,
I could never let go of the
recruiting piece since for
me, it’s always been where
the action is. My unique talent
has always been to sense hiring
managers’ needs along with
that somewhat indefinable ‘fit’
that is so important in building
teams that have a little magic
in them.”
|
| • |
2 years experience
in Organizational Development
with an emphasis on training
in areas including best hiring
practices, behavioral interviewing
techniques, managing for high
performance, conflict and diversity. |
Holly’s
HR background affords real
empathy as someone who
understands the challenges
companies face, along with
what technology employees
value most in the workplace. “ We are all working harder
and faster than ever before,
and often without all the
resources we once had.
I am often struck by how
committed individuals are
to the ‘cause’ no matter
how high the bar has been
set. The best technologists
I have seen typically work
relentlessly on some code
or a bug not for the bonuses
or recognition, but because
they feel great that what
they do really matters
to people who use their
products. Give them good
tools, a plan, a great
manager and amazing things
can happen. Everyone wins.” Those who work with Holly
find her honesty, direct
approach and exceptional
humor useful in quickly
getting to the heart of
the matter. Holly is happiest
solving hard problems and
making matches that exceed
expectations.
