About

Hi, I'm Maddy. I'm a Recruiter at Rithum. My mission is to humanize the recruiting process. Job hunting isn't always a walk in the park, and building out a team can come with it's own set of challenges. I'm here to ensure that our hiring experience feels like a constructive and successful exploration. Outside of Talent Acquisition, I'm enthusiastic about the great outdoors, sand volleyball and the Enneagram.
