Employee Spotlight: Jessie Howe

It's our pleasure to spotlight our new Employee of the Quarter, Jessie Howe!

Jessie is a Florida native, originally from Daytona Beach and a proud graduate of Valencia College, where she pursued general studies.

Her journey at Kavaliro began 2 ½ years ago when she joined the Onboarding Team as an HR Coordinator. She was drawn to the position because it allowed her to channel her passion for connecting with people. She gets this passion and dedication for helping others from her mom, who has always worked in HR and now serves as an HR Business Partner. Seeing what her mom does on a daily basis has been a driving force behind her own career choices.

Being a part of the Operations Team, talking to new contractors and seeing their excitement about their new roles, along with the opportunity to work with a team of dynamic recruiters, are some of the aspects Jessie loves most about her job. She is always ready to lend a hand and excited to learn something new each day. Jessie is continuously expanding skills and her devotion to her role are truly commendable.

Here’s what a few of Jessie’s coworkers have to say about her and her contributions to Kavaliro:

“As the most tenured member of the Onboarding Team, Jessie is always willing to help her teammates with whatever they may need. She is quick to take care of any issues that arise, and we couldn’t do what we do without her. Jessie is a staple in onboarding for both the Orlando and Charlotte offices. The vast differences between them (in clients and personalities) only exemplify her ability to adapt and excel at her job. I can’t wait to see what she does next!” – April Briggs, HR Onboarding Manager

"Jessie consistently exceeds expectations, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to ensuring that every start is compliant." - Rafael Restrepo, Sr. Regional Director of Business Development

"Jessie has been amazing to work with and is a great leader for the onboarding team when April is out. She not only supports our Orlando branch but also plays a huge part in Charlotte's onboarding. Jessie's roles are endless at Kavaliro, and her hard work does not go unnoticed. I can't imagine anyone more deserving of this spotlight. Congratulations, Jessie and thank you for all that you do!" - Mandy Serda, HR Coordinator

"Jessie is a critical part of our onboarding process in the Charlotte office. She keeps things organized and updated to ensure a smooth start. We appreciate all of her efforts on a daily basis." – Tommy Parker, Director of Recruiting, Charlotte

"Jessie consistently goes above and beyond in her role, demonstrating dedication, and a strong work ethic. Her attention to detail, commitment to Kavaliro's values, and willingness to support her teammates have made a significant impact on our team’s success. Jessie’s contributions have been invaluable, and we’re grateful to have her as part of the Kavaliro family." - Tim Davis, VP of Operations

 "Jessie is an integral part of our team, she makes the onboarding process for contractors and direct hire starts seamless and always gets things done efficiently. I can go to her with any questions knowing she'll have answers. She's positive and fun to work , always helping out with extra things around the office like setting up company potlucks, restocking the kitchen, etc. She is long overdue for Employee of the Quarter." - Marshall Ruffing, Business Development Manager

"Jessie has become an integral part of our Corporate Operations team through her role in Onboarding. She's always excited for the chance to learn and help with more. She's also become the ring leader for employee relations in our Orlando HQ." Kelly Babb - Director of Talent Operations

“Jessie is one of the first people I started working with daily on our Operations Team. She has always been so kind and considerate. She is always willing to help me with anything marketing-related, and she is a big help around our Orlando office. I really enjoy getting to work with her!” - Renee England, Marketing Coordinator 

When she isn’t at work, Jessie loves spending time with her family, exploring new foods, nurturing her 'plant babies', and indulging in games of Catan.  

Jessie is excited that her family is growing as she's gearing up to be a first-time aunt in December, and coincidentally her sister has the same due date as she did with her daughter.

 Join us in celebrating Jessie and her remarkable contributions to Kavaliro! We are so thankful to have her on our team.
