Emily Kent is a Head of People at Kraken Kinetics. She possess expertise in recruiting, talent acquisition, technical recruiting, management, leadership and 28 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Emily is a fantastic recruiting partner and leader. As a hiring manager, I worked with Emily on two Director-level hires—simultaneously, kicked off within a month of my own start date at Policygenius, while I was still getting my own feet under me. Thanks to Emily’s organization, structured approach to hiring, and proactive communication, I never felt lost or overwhelmed—I knew I was in good hands!—and we were able to close both searches in just a few months. I still think of Emily’s advice to “go slow to go fast” when hiring—take the time to get your hiring plan solidified before you start screening, so when you find great candidates you can move them through the pipeline as quickly as possible—and I give that advice to hiring managers on my team all the time. I’d love to work with Emily again, and her next company will be very lucky to have her!" and "Emily was strong partner to the Executive Leadership team and me at Payscale and helped me identify incredible talent to join the leadership team at Payscale. We worked closely together on identifying hires for the following roles: SVP of Marketing, SVP of SalesOps, Director of Enablement, Director of Sales Insights. I am most appreciative of her interest in ensuring a consistent and inclusive candidate experience, which I care deeply about. In addition, Emily has an appreciation for speed to hire as a metric, and worked well with our interview team to document/provide feedback quickly. Emily is easy to work with, timely and was a strong asset to me and Payscale - and, a wonderful resource to me as a fairly new member of the team."
