Meet Julie

Joel Vena

They say every great team needs an anchor. Joel is the calm in the chaos, the one who notices what others miss, and finds the match that feels almost uncanny. A steady, detail-driven recruiter and career counselor, he’s helped hundreds of professionals land the right opportunity, thanks to deep market knowledge, genuine care, and an unshakable commitment to getting it right for both sides.

Meet Joel 

    “I have had multiple mentors over the past decade or so, and each has played a vital role in the growth of my Plumbing and HVAC business, as well as my personal development. Among them, Julie stands out as a true expert in leadership. She is fiercely dedicated to her clients and goes to battle for you, ensuring that big wins are always within reach.

    Her guidance has been instrumental not just in shaping my business strategies but also enhanced my leadership skills tremendously. I genuinely cherish her support and feel incredibly grateful to have her in my corner, not just as a mentor, but as someone I can rely on at any time of the day. If you are serious about elevating your business and personal growth, I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

    I have been consistently impressed by Joel’s exceptional talent, unwavering dedication, and remarkable consistency.  Joel possesses an extraordinary ability to quickly and efficiently assimilate subject matter and domain nuances.  In the realm of recruitment, Joel sets an exemplary standard for creativity and efficiency. He has a unique talent for identifying the right candidates in a timely manner. One of Joel’s greatest assets is his high emotional intelligence; he has an innate ability to assess how candidates will fit with clients and anticipate potential challenges they may encounter. His innovative approach to sourcing is unparalleled, as he has developed numerous programs with colleges, trade schools, veteran networks, and employment centers, successfully yielding candidates that would otherwise remain elusive.

    “Joel Vena consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism throughout our interactions. His positive attitude and approachable demeanor made the recruitment process smooth and engaging. Joel’s deep knowledge of recruiting and his ability to clearly communicate expectations showed his expertise in the field. He built a strong professional relationship based on trust and respect, and every interaction with him was thoughtful, timely, and constructive. Joel truly represents the best of what a recruiter should be.”

    Chris Drummey
    Area Operations Manager - Enbridge

    Joel easily removed the guesswork from the hiring process, helping me find clarity and purpose at each stage. His resume writing expertise allowed me to showcase my military and civilian experience in a way that employers truly valued. Through strategic interview preparation and honest feedback, he helped me understand not only my strengths—but also the areas where I needed to grow. Ultimately, he was responsible for three major things in my professional career: Continued confidence in my chosen profession, How to interview and answer really hard questions, and how to leverage my experience and translate that experience into a resume and conversation that civilian leadership could understand and quantify.

    Joel is candid, honest, and exceptionally reliable. I trust him completely because he genuinely put my interests first. You cannot ask for a more authentic and supportive coach. Thank you, Joel.
