After her graduation from the London School of Economics, Dawn blazed a trail through the recruitment industry in the UK by running one of the most profitable Temporary Staffing Divisions in London. She moved to the U.S. and worked as Sales Executive at one of the country’s leading employment agencies, Adecco, in Chicago, IL. Among her many achievements was her national recognition as Top Sales Executive for the country in 1999. In 2006, she started City Personnel with the intention of providing top talent to businesses in RI and Southern MA. Dawn brings close to 30 years of experience to her current role as Founder/President/Recruiter, where she works with a team of professional recruiters who share her passion and commitment to staffing.
