Kasey Hadjis, President, Workforce Management

Responsible for: MSP/VMS and payrolling

• Career enrichment: “What remains the same throughout the years is our commitment to opportunities and enrichment. I’ve been incredibly blessed to have worked with our CEO Seth Stein for the majority of my career. He’s consistently pushed me to challenge the status quo, and I’ve tried to take the lessons I’ve learned and apply them to the teams I work with.”
  
• Impactful results: “Our teams are working harder than ever to strengthen our diversity initiatives within our MSP programs. By the end of 2021, our goal is to provide our MSP clients with regular consultation and information on contingent workforce diversity. Our MSP division will close 2021 with well over $125 million in spend under management.”
  

• Advice: “Embrace the hard work! As an ESOP, we have such a unique opportunity to create our own path and to impact so many lives. #weownourfuture.”

Laura LaManna, Chief of Staff

Responsible for: Executive support, Client Experience, Sourcing Center, and strategic projects

• Career enrichment: “At Eastridge, I’m able to watch team members advance from a recruiter to director level, growing and developing their careers along the way. Our sourcing centers are a big component to our successful growth; without them, we wouldn't have been able to bounce back so quickly during the pandemic when demand increased.”
  
• Impactful results: “The sourcing team’s ownership and dedication allowed that division to scale by 300% in under 18 months. We’re adding three clients monthly due to our data-driven, transparent, and accountable processes. Our sourcing centers are integral to Eastridge’s growth, providing custom, cost-effective resources for clients 24/7.”
  
• Advice: “Vocalize what you’re interested in and take ownership of your career. You’ll have advocates along the way, but it’s up to you to hold yourself accountable and ask to be involved. Ownership of your career path is critical.”

Adam Klaucke, Chief Sales Officer

Responsible for: Revenue generation

• Career enrichment: “For personal and professional growth, working within a new company culture has led to a highly-adaptive environment -- and we’ve moved faster because of it. Our accomplishments (even virtually across different time zones) have led to high growth and results. The advantage of being remote has been one of the reasons we’ve been able to move so quickly in new areas.”
  
• Impactful results: “Having the right people in the right roles has created the ability to mushroom enterprise sales as a key organizational goal, leading to stronger impacts for our top and bottom line. Eastridge helps BDRs ‘sell bigger faster,’ meaning more incoming opportunities. As we hire additional BDRs in new markets across multiple states, we’re embracing a hybrid model between sales and business development with room for career advancement in sales.”
  

• Advice: “Change is good and leads to positive outcomes. Adapting to change is what will bring Eastridge to the next level. The organization has done a fantastic job bringing on experienced leadership and team members with the expertise and strategic elements to accomplish our goals.”
