How it all began
Melissa has recruiting running in her veins. She started out studying cross-cultural communication, thinking she'd dive into international development. But life took her in a different direction, landing her in the family business.
She discovered that her knack for listening and sharing stories helped her connect with people on their career journeys. Her experiences living in Asia, the Middle East, and Central America gave her valuable insights into the changing job markets and hiring practices. This helps her explain the nuances to those who may not understand.
After two decades in the game, she craved more than just recruiting. Melissa wanted to pass on what she knew and explore her passion for writing. With some advice from her financial advisor, she launched her own firm, Reitkopp Recruiting.
Now, she blends her recruiting skills with workshops, one-on-one coaching, and social media content. It’s a whole new adventure that keeps evolving.
