“When Kristina made the move from the Talent world to the Revenue Strategy team, I knew that she had a big challenge to impact the recruiting side of ALKU. What I couldn’t have been prepared for was how much passion she was going to pour into every aspect of the job. Kristina comes to work every day with the mindset of helping the company and making the job of recruiting easier and more efficient. She has run multiple successful recruiting initiatives such as the Pushing P Contest, Metrics Incentive Plan, a monster Resume Dump for start-ups, and HubSpot candidates forms that have increased leads, DBAs, and placements for the company in 2024. She has relentlessly pushed for changes to Bullhorn, LinkedIn, and Tableau so that our Recruiting Managers and Recruiters have what they need to do their jobs at the highest level. When new technology, reporting, Marketing campaigns, or Revenue initiatives are being discussed, she is always making sure the recruiting side is considered and taken care of. Kristina has taken on the Recruiting Strategy role by storm, and she is the exact person we want every day exploring how to further develop Recruiters and make sure the ALKU is at the forefront of recruiting technology and process. Internally, she has become the Revenue lead for recruiting technology creation, roll-out, and adoption, and she has been critical in providing the feedback needed to make these tools run. Kristina put a focus on further developing ALKU’s vendor relationships with the tools we use daily and because of these relationships she has been able to get ALKU exclusive access to new data and technology.
On a personal note, working with KD has given me new energy. Watching her diagnose a problem, create a plan, and execute as quick as she does has made me realize there is an entirely different playbook for ‘getting s**t done’ and KD has it mastered. Her relentless effort towards achieving recruiting excellence for ALKU is unmatched, and I can confidently say that our companies Recruiting Strategy will be revolutionized by none other than Kristina Doucette. It has never been a question if KD cares, sometimes it’s that she cares TOO much, and that’s something we need from someone in her position. I’m proud of everything you’ve achieved and couldn’t be happier to come in everyday to fight the constant battle of staffing with you in charge. This promotion is more than deserved, you are an important part of our journey to the top.” – James Cassin-Reed

“KD! Congrats on your well-deserved promotion to Senior Manager! While she is always tough to track down (you can almost guarantee she is never at her desk and instead sits in James’ office or at Joe’s), the impact she has on this company is undeniable. She truly wants to improve the lives of all the Recruiters here, whether that is through new workflows, technology, candidate sources, trainings – you name it. She has her hands in so much, and working with Kristina it is evident just how much she cares about ALKU.
