Peggy Blumenthal started her recruiting career after attending the University of Toronto where she studied physical and health education. During her time at U of T, she spent five years playing for the University of Toronto Varsity Blues Women’s basketball team. Peggy was instrumental in leading the Varsity Blues to a national championship in 1986. During her five years, she was also an OWAA First Team All Star in two of her five years. Her five years were spent being competitive at the national level, as the Varsity Blues were ranked Number 1 or 2 during her time there.This 1986 varsity team was inducted into the University of Toronto’s Sports Hall of Fame in 2003. It was quite an honour, as this is the only national championship team in women’s basketball at the U of T to date.When approached after university to take a job as a recruiter with a small boutique agency in Toronto, she felt it was a natural transition from building a team in her sporting life to building and leading a team in her business life.Peggy remained in Toronto as a recruiter for five years in Toronto before moving out to Vancouver and taking a position with Hunt Personnel. The values of Hunt Personnel and their authenticity as people (not to mention falling in love with the West Coast) are the core reasons why she has continued her career here 26 years later!Peggy’s down-to-earth, intuitive approach and innate ability to connect clients with candidates is her secret sauce and her passion for assisting businesses and individuals in achieving their professional and personal goals has resulted in countless successful placements with many of BC’s top organizations.She has led Hunt Personnel as the Manager of Recruiting for the last 20 years and is now stepping into an even more well-rounded position as the Vice-President, Business Development and Recruiting. It is a role that will suit her well, as she will be highly involved on a more holistic level with both clients and candidates.
