Jennifer Whitworth
Territory Director
I was introduced to the Staffing industry over 5 years ago while working for a prestigious agency in San Luis Obispo County. I became a very successful Senior Staffing Manager and earned a certification through the American Staffing Association. I quickly became a top producer, recruiting, interviewing, and placing high quality candidates with key employers.
I served on the Human Resources Association board, which includes some of the top HR professionals on the Central Coast. I also served on the Workforce Development Board (Business Council) and still serve on the Employer Advisory Council of San Luis Obispo. Since relocating back to the Central Valley, I joined SHRM of Tulare/Kings County. I’m hoping that I can be an asset to similar organizations within my local community.
My achievements can be attributable to my previous 10 years of management experience working for Enterprise Rent-A-Car and owning a successful digital marketing agency with my husband. My overall expertise in Staffing, HR, Management, and Marketing has prepared me to become a successful Territory Director for Hire Up Staffing!
