As an experienced IT Recruiter, Kate will be responsible for identifying, screening and qualifying candidates. Let's take a moment to learn more about her! What was your first paying job? My first paying job was in high school at The Running Company in Haddonfield, NJ. I ran track and field and x-country all four years of high school, and this afforded me the opportunity to help fellow running lovers find the perfect shoe! Favorite weekend hobby? My favorite weekend hobby is waking up early and working out before cramming in as much fun as possible with my kiddos in between their sporting events! What would people be surprised to learn about you? People would probably be surprised that my first job after college was at the TV show, America's Most Wanted with John Walsh. And yes, I did meet him!  If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go? I have a long bucket list of places to visit but Bali, Indonesia is at the top...among several others 🙂 Best part of working at PSCI? The best part of working at PSCI is the people for sure.

Sr. IT Recruiter Jim Martin and PSCI consultant Dan McGonigle, however, can take solace in the fact that they finished first and second, respectively, in our annual Super Bowl office pool. Held for the third consecutive year, PSCI staff and consultants were asked to give their predictions on the game and event itself. Questions ranged from who would score the first touchdown to what color outfit Rihanna would perform the halftime show in. Congratulations to this year's winners, who each won a gift card of their choosing, and thank you to all who participated.
