The real thread of my career has been putting people to work. At first it was public service oriented - running a Summer Youth Employment Program to find jobs for young people who were economically disadvantaged and under the poverty line. Then I moved to the private sector and transitioned my “putting people to work” skills to the staffing industry. Seven years later I became an entrepreneur by starting Mee Derby. We have been slowly growing for more than 26 years now, to the point that we are today a leading search firm for the staffing industry.
For over 29 years at Mee Derby I’ve built a team of people, a solid core of like-minded professionals who embrace the same values of community, communication, integrity, and results who are passionate about the staffing industry. We aspire to innovation and harness technology in a way that allows us to work effectively. Technology provided us access to people, to each other, and enhances work-life balance. The company evolved from an corporate headquarters on K Street to virtual officing across the United States.
Today we are staffing subject matter experts whose advice and perspective is highly regarded. Our scope is national and focused on senior level search. And that comes back to making a difference in our clients’ and candidates’ lives.
