Leila Hermes

Business Manager

đź’Ľ What I Do

Being a specialist in finance, accounting and business operations staffing, I focus in matching high-impact talent with the right roles to fuel business success. 

🎯 Background

As a seasoned staffing professional with 7+ years of progressive experience in the Finance, Accounting, Business Operations, and HR sectors, I have built a reputation for my strategic and consultative approach to recruitment, specializing in direct hire, project-based work, and contract-to-hire staffing solutions. My expertise lies in understanding the unique needs of both clients and candidates, ensuring the right fit for every position. My secret? Keeping a keen eye for talent and a commitment to excellence! 

đź’ˇ Fun Fact

I’m the definition of a friendly nerd—with a Biology degree and minors in Chemistry and Psychology to prove it. As science shaped how I think, my passion for people ultimately shaped my career path. That curiosity to learn and empathy to help others is what led me to a career in staffing, where I get to connect with others every day and help them find where they truly belong. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else!

📦 Tools of the Trade

My most valuable tools aren’t found on a platform—they’re built through trust. I focus on creating genuine, lasting relationships with both candidates and hiring managers, rooted in active listening and transparent, honest communication. This approach allows me to match people and companies where they both thrive. Every interview, placement, and job search is an opportunity, not just to connect others, but to grow and sharpen my own capabilities along the way.

 đźŹ–ď¸Ź  Outside of Work

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and connected—whether that’s spending time with family and friends, getting out in nature for a good hike, or exploring my passion for cooking. I love trying new cuisines and techniques, especially Lebanese, Latino, Vietnamese, Japanese, and American dishes. Whether following a recipe or creating something from scratch, cooking is my favorite way to unwind and bring people together.
