What led you to Meadow Lane Staffing?

I had known David Crimmins for 15 years, when I worked with private staff agencies in my career as a Personal Assistant, House Manager, and Estate Manager. He was so different – down-to-earth, honest, a pleasure to work with – and he always had terrific candidates. When he offered me the opportunity to join Crimmins Staffing as a recruiter I leapt at the chance. Meadow Lane is our newest venture, catering specifically to our clients and candidates in and around the Hamptons.

 

What makes a great client?

Communication is everything. The more I understand the client’s lifestyle and what they prize in an employee, the better match I can make.

 

What makes a great candidate?

We have an expression: Is this an “on-time professional” – someone who is serious about their career, and takes pride in their work? And do they have good judgment and the gift of anticipation – the ability to think a few steps ahead to provide the best possible service?

 

What sets Meadow Lane apart?

We have respect for the all the good that can come from this process – keeping it professional, but also making the selection and hiring experience as caring and fair as possible for all parties.

 

What sets you apart as a recruiter?

In my career I have been both a client and a candidate, so I know how Hamptons households are unique. I understand both the 5-star expectations at the “front of the house,” and the type of skills and amount of staff required to keep these homes running at peak performance.
