An Ambitious Firm With a Lasting Impact
CLIENT IMPACT
Entry-level placement of a Trailblazer within a wellness company, resulting in a promotion to Operations Manager within one year.
“I have amassed a number of powerhouse skills on my resume but was missing the job title and salary to match. HBGM&Co. assessed my skills on a macro level and matched me with a company I not only aligned with personally, but a company with a clear trajectory towards upward growth. Through development and coaching I scaled with the company from an entry-level position to middle management. The concept is brilliant and I am thriving in this new role.”
