Leadership
Kathy Panaro
Founder and CEO
The biggest challenge facing business leaders today is the ability to identify, attract and hire strong talent to grow their businesses.
Kathy Panaro is the Founder and CEO of Panaro Group ~ Your Strategic Recruiting Partner, a premier boutique Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) firm based in Milwaukee.
Kathy was an early entrepreneur and professional recruiting expert with experience "running a desk" while building a business. This experience was an asset as she built her recruiting teams to serve a broader client base. Kathy has an affinity towards working with companies that capitalize on their culture to entice passive candidates. Taking the time to understand each client's unique culture and identifying candidates that fit that culture has resulted in high retention rates, setting Panaro Group apart from other national firms. The "work hard, play hard" concept is embraced by her team of resilient recruiters who uphold a commitment to filling client jobs and delivering measurable results.
As one of the pioneers of RPO, Kathy has challenged the status quo of the traditional corporate recruiting environment by developing and delivering a refreshing recruiting process that is more intentional and pro-active in an organization’s approach to talent acquisition. The process is designed to offer an exceptional candidate experience while delivering results to hiring managers. She has partnered with and mentored many companies that cannot afford to post a job and wait for applicants. Kathy and her recruiting team have helped many businesses and product lines grow as a result of hiring the right talent and cultural fit.
