Andrew Horwitz

Consultant, Chicago-O’Hare

Andrew is the newest addition to the JobGiraffe team. A graduate of Tulane University with degrees in Political Economy and History, he ran two start-up ventures after graduation. Through these experiences Andrew learned his true talent lies in Human Capital Management. At JobGiraffe, Andrew will use the consulting talent that comes so naturally to him when working with Job Seekers and Clients, and his role within the Corporate team allows him to use his strategic planning skills to their fullest.

When he finds a spare moment, he enjoys traveling, working out, reading non-fiction and staying up on politics, current events, and global economics - all while satisfying his inner foodie. Often unorthodox, but always interesting, Andrew injects his abundant passion, intensity, and goal-oriented zeal into everything he does.

"I view my role as a JobGiraffe consultant as being similar to that of a relationship strategist. We want our candidates to find a company where they can grow and thrive in a corporate culture that makes them happy and fulfilled when they go to work every day. We want our corporate partners to feel that our candidates will bring what every company desires of its employees; the skills and commitment needed to help achieve common goals. I love helping to facilitate that process."

Donna Steinbrecher

Consultant, Schaumburg

Donna came to Paige Personnel, now JobGiraffe, in 1983, after being in outside sales for over 3 years, seeking a more structured work environment so she could be at home with her two small children nights and weekends. Although hired as a ‘permanent placement’ consultant, Donna also worked with the ‘temporary placement’ division of the company, thus giving her an excellent perspective on the temporary needs of our clients. Though she is considered as one of the more "senior" consultants (longevity seems to prevail at JobGiraffe), please note that Donna was just a "child" when she began! Donna loves to dance, spend time with her two grandchildren and finds great relaxation in gardening.

"There is no greater satisfaction than that simple "thank you" received from the applicant you finally place at a new position! Hearing the gratitude and excitement in their voice makes it all worthwhile."

Marie Tuttle

Consultant, Schaumburg

Marie came to Paige Personnel, now JobGiraffe, after graduating form North Central College in Naperville looking to be placed in her first career position. When her consultant asked, "What would you think about working here?" she responded with, well, "What is it you actually do here?" That was 1984 and today she, happily, is one of the, shall we say, more senior consultants! Marie loves to travel, spend time with family and friends and has an admitted compulsion for shopping.

“The best part of working at JobGiraffe is telling someone, ‘You got the job!’ To have such an impact in someone's life is overwhelming.”

Nancy Nesti

VP Client Relations, All Locations

Nancy has a knack for sales and client retention. When not in the office, she can often be found in the kitchen with all six burners going at once. If she likes you, she may share a bottle of her home canned tomato sauce, cranberry sauce or blueberry jam. While the stove is working, she will step outside, dragged along by her 135 lb. Rottweiler or her 6 lb. pom dodging the neighborhood coyotes and foxes. She can spend hours in her yard, watering her gardens and chatting with the neighbors.

Although a huge Jimmy Buffett “Parrothead”, Nancy often dreams of flying with the dragons and one day wizarding with Harry Potter.
