Bill Varon

Sr. Headhunter

Movement was originally founded back in 2009 by a small group of recruiters who had previously worked together for a large, national staffing company. Fast forward several years later, most of the original team has now been reassembled and is working under the Movement banner. Bill was one of the guys that got away. After 10 years as a top producer in the recruitment biz, he left it in 2008 and immersed himself for another 10 years as an IT sales and implementation consultant specializing in ERP solutions. Now, he is back where he belongs. Back in the business of Headhunting and with all of his old friends and colleagues at Movement. To say we are beyond thrilled to have this seasoned, uber-talented veteran back in the mix is an understatement.

Carrie Leuenhagen

Headhunter

So, here’s the deal. Carrie has been a Kindergarten teacher for the past 20 years; she comes knocking on Movement’s door and tells us that she’s looking for a new challenge in her life and thinks she wants to be a Headhunter. Initially, we told her it must be some kind of mid-life crisis thing and we sent her on her way. Then she kept coming back to us over and over again. We finally agreed to sit down and interview with her. Movement hired her on the spot. Carrie is amazing; her energy and enthusiasm for this business is off the charts. She consumes information, executes her plan, and develops relationships with clients and candidates like she has been doing this for 20 years. Headhunting is Carrie’s new calling and she is very, very good at it. Perhaps one of the best hires Movement has made in recent memory.
