Meet Elena Tinios: A Rising Star in Recruitment

Elena Tinios is a force to be reckoned with in the recruitment industry. As a manager at Anderson Frank, she has built a reputation for her exceptional skills in finding top talent for companies. But what drives her success, and what advice does she have for those looking to follow in her footsteps?

Defining Success on Her Own Terms

For Elena, success is not just about achieving goals; it’s about understanding what truly matters to her. “As I’ve grown older, I’ve realized that success doesn’t necessarily mean being the best at something,” she says. “It’s about being persistent, staying focused, and not comparing myself to others.”

A Career Path That Wasn’t Planned

Elena’s journey into recruitment was far from conventional. After graduating from NYU, she had her sights set on a career in consulting. However, despite having taken similar courses to business students, she found herself limited by her non-traditional degree. Undeterred, she opened herself up to new opportunities and landed a role as a trainee recruitment consultant. Fast forward two years, and she’s now managing her own team.

Advice for Aspiring Recruiters

So, what’s Elena’s secret to success? “Keep an open mind, work hard, and don’t be afraid to ask questions,” she advises. “The day-to-day life of a recruiter can be challenging, but finding someone their perfect job makes it all worth it!”

Career Goals and Role Models

Elena’s long-term goal is to manage her own successful division at Frank Recruitment Group and help others build their careers. She draws inspiration from her parents, who run their own businesses and taught her the value of hard work.

Achieving Work-Life Balance

Despite working long hours, Elena has learned to prioritize her well-being. “It’s all about finding a balance and making time for yourself,” she says. Her favorite way to unwind? Drinking wine and listening to music on her East Village roof with friends.

Fake It Until You Make It
