Jacqui Snyder shares how she balances work-life and home/family
D: Jacqui, as a leader in one of the most demanding industries, how do you find work-life balance?
JS: One of my mentors always says “Everyone has 24-hours in a day; it’s up to you how you use them.” This is how I look at the topic of work-life balance. Through the years I’ve had to decide what’s most important to me and allocate my time to reflect that to maintain a healthy balance. This is hard for me to do especially in an industry which demands my attention beyond normal business hours.
I find myself constantly doing “checks and balances” on where my time is spent. When things feel off-balance or if I get overwhelmed, I will find a way to re-adjust. I remind myself that those around me only know what I’m going through, or need, by communicating with them. Communication is key!
Secondly, it’s okay to take a day off or a vacation. It’s essential to plan! By taking charge of my schedule, I’m able to make time for the things that bring joy to my life. In order to bring my best-self to work, I find it important to make time for the people and activities I care about outside of work. The more I take care of my needs outside of work, the better I will be as a team member at work.
D: You’ve been in the industry for a few years. How has your career evolved over the years?
JS: I have more than 7 years of experience in the IT staffing and recruiting industry. I recently celebrated my one-year anniversary with DIVERSANT in January. When I joined the company, I was the third hire of the Direct-Hire team in Minneapolis. I played an active role in helping the team grow to five employees. As of today, the Direct-Hire Practice has grown to over 20 employees in 5 different markets.
Starting as a recruiting manager on the Direct-Hire team, I finished my first year as the #1 producing recruiting manager which allowed me to earn my way into the Achievers Club as a “Rising Star.” I was quickly promoted after eight months to the practice director role in Minneapolis. In this role, I have the honor of leading a very talented four-person team of direct-hire recruiters which is very rewarding.
Jacqui continues to be a producing manager and loves the daily undertaking of recruiting candidates, serving her trusted clients, and leading her team! Thank you, Jacqui, for your leadership. We recognize and value your contributions.
