20 Years in Healthcare and Non-Profit Recruiting: A Journey of Passion and Purpose!
March 14, 2025—20 years ago, I started as a healthcare recruiter at RH in Oakland, CA. Fresh out of college, I thought this job would be temporary—just a stepping stone until I landed my real dream job as a sales rep for a pharmaceutical company. But two months in, that offer came, and I hesitated. My team was short-staffed, and I couldn’t leave my manager without support. So I stayed a little longer.
And then a little longer. Until I realized—I had already found my dream job.
I’ll always be grateful to Kathleen and Susan, who took a chance on someone with no experience, just drive and determination. Their belief in me set the foundation for everything that followed.
Over the years, I’ve built a career I love while celebrating life’s biggest milestones—marriage, motherhood, and even our furry baby girl. I earned top performer awards for 13 of my 17 years both as a leader and individual performer, including 10 consecutive while navigating life as a new mom. More than the accolades, I showed up every day to help others find their right opportunity.
In 2022, after achieving the #1 spot globally in the president’s division, I took a leap of faith, leaving behind stability to follow my deeper purpose—transforming lives and partnering with mission-driven organizations.
That leap led me to found MatchBukh Talent Solutions in 2023. Even now, every time I see my company name, I have to remind myself—it’s real. It’s finally come true.
Today, I get to work with companies I believe in, not only helping them find top talent but also giving back—through my time, support, and donations.
Here’s to the next 20 years of impact, connection, and purpose. Join me in celebrating this milestone!
