“We had two positions to fill and each required a unicorn … 

… an editor and writer who could understand deep health content but translate it into friendly but informative content that doesn’t terrify, or even worse, bore. The Talent Fairy worked her magic and delivered! She screened dozens, presented a short list of truly top candidates, and even scheduled the interviews. The process was seamless. Chandra provided insightful and incredibly helpful summaries of each candidate that went so much deeper than any resume. She worked tirelessly to find the absolute best person for each job — and she’ll do the same for you!” — Elizabeth Anne Shaw, Editor in Chief, HealthCentral.com

“We loved working with Talent Fairy. Chandra found great candidates, worked with us to create the best structure for evaluating our options, and worked in tandem with us each step of the way.” — Rachel Hofstetter, CMO, Chatbooks

I have spent my 20+ year career leading teams at the country’s top media companies and providing candidate referrals to countless others, earning my nickname as the industry’s “fairy godmother.” Through Talent Fairy, I now connect hiring managers to talent in all content areas. Let me find candidates who are the right fit for your brand— so you can get back to your day job!  Email me to set up a complimentary chat so I can get to know you and your business.

Cheers, Chandra Turner
