Testimonials
“Kendall has been a huge asset to my brand and business. Even though I am a small team of one, she brought big business systems, technology, and strategies to streamlining and updating my backend processes. She is a skilled copywriter who easily can take on and learn the voice of your brand, is incredibly organized, and very succinct and professional in her communication. In just two months, she completed a backlog of blogging that would have taken me about 10 months.
Because of her efficiency, we have moved on to working on bigger-picture projects together across multiple brands. Kendall is a go-getter and her ability to problem solve on her own and work independently has given me the time back to work on the things that move the needle, and the assurance that the little things aren’t falling into the cracks. Bringing Kendall on board has been one of the best business decisions I’ve made in a long time.
In other words, if you’re hesitating, don’t. Do the damn thing and hire Kendall.”

“I highly recommend Kendall Oseland, who served as a Talent Manager at Planhat. During her tenure with our organization, and as the first hire in the People team, she helped in building our talent operations from scratch and contributed significantly to our team.
Kendall showed remarkable skills in quickly building relationships with candidates, making them feel comfortable, and enabling them to share openly. It was not uncommon for candidates to praise Kendall's recruiter screens as the best they had experienced. Her ability to create a welcoming and open atmosphere also allowed us to gain deeper insights into the individuals we interviewed.
One of Kendall's standout qualities is her collaborative and loyal nature. She was always willing to work closely with team members and hiring managers, and was able to adapt her style of working depending on the collaborators.
During her time at Planhat, Kendall faced the challenge of adapting to the changing dynamics of our startup environment. She successfully navigated significant shifts in our hiring needs, demonstrating adaptability and a proactive approach to refocusing her efforts wherever they were most needed and took on areas in which she had no prior experience.
Throughout her tenure, Kendall progressively took on more responsibilities and exhibited strong ownership of her projects. This is particularly important, considering the remote nature of our company and the time zone differences she had to navigate.
In conclusion, Kendall Oseland is an appreciated professional who made many valuable contributions during her time at Planhat. Her talent acquisition skills, collaborative nature, adaptability and dedication to her colleagues all contributed to that. I have no doubt that she will continue to excel in any endeavor she undertakes.”
“I had the privilege of working alongside Kendall during her time at Artium. She and I initially worked together while she was a Talent Partner, and she set me up for success by being a great mentor and showing me the ins and outs of technical recruiting. When she moved to the Recruiting Operations role, she continued to support myself and our team by implementing and documenting processes and structure.
She is highly adaptable, extremely organized, pays attention to detail, and cares about those on her team. I've always been impressed with her level of organization and commitment to providing an amazing experience to candidates and others. She will be an asset to any team she joins, and I look forward to seeing her continued growth and success!”
“I managed Kendall for over a year in her role as a recruiter both internally for our growing company and externally for our large network of technical writers. I also worked with her in similar capacities as she joined our HR department.
On the technical writer side, our candidate needs are very specific and our standards are extremely high. Kendall was tasked with meeting these needs and standards across five separate technical domains, each with aggressive quotas. I’ve seen her juggle over 35 engineers and journalists at one time, treating each one with respect and friendly professionalism.
On the internal hiring side, Kendall has been instrumental in finding employees who espouse the EETech values of hard work and genuine empathy for teammates. She has created successful structures to usher new employees through the hiring and onboarding processes with compassion and efficiency.
Kendall is cool in tough situations and organized to a truly crazy degree. She spearheaded several initiatives that have made our company more competitive over time, many of which she proposed completely on her own, including the development of creative recruiting methods.
As a teammate, she is meticulously responsible and deeply caring about the success of those around her. When I sought feedback from her coworkers in preparation for her year review, she was described as “friendly,” “driven,” and “always willing to help” many times.
Kendall has earned my trust with her consistently excellent work, supportive nature, and her commitment to improving herself and her environment. She's destined to make anywhere she works a better place.”
“I worked closely with Kendall within the People team at Planhat. She managed US recruitment and I took care of the EMEA region. Despite the geographical divide, thanks to her strong communication skills, our collaboration was always very effective.
She was really good at handling the challenges of US recruitment and also keeping everyone in the EMEA team in the loop. We often did projects that needed us to understand different markets, and her insights were always super helpful.
Apart from her work skills, I truly enjoyed working with Kendall; She's easy to talk to and always ready to share knowledge.”
