Emily Bruce, Recruiter
Greenville, South Carolina — January 22, 2024
Emily Bruce has joined Greenville-based Forge Search + Consulting as a recruiter after an early career in marketing and advertising. Beginning as an event intern, Bruce spent seven years in progressively expanding roles and responsibilities in account management for a large marketing and branding agency, rising to the level of account supervisor. While there, her duties included significant client guidance and relationship management for both B2C & B2B clients, as well as project and event management, and mentorship of internal agency staff. Forge Search is a rapidly-growing professional recruiting firm that primarily recruits within the fields of marketing & sales, accounting & finance, and human resources.
"Emily brings a number of significant skills and experiences to our team, including her strengths in building deep client relationships," said Rhiannon Poore, CEO and founder of Forge Search. "Her knowledge of marketing and sales within an agency context provides an incredible benefit to our clients. I also appreciate Emily's clear ability to work within a collaborative team environment to serve clients, as Forge's service is based on that kind of collaboration. We are thrilled to have her here!"
"I was attracted to the recruiting world in part because it seems to combine both project management and a deeply personal side of business," said Emily Bruce. "The opportunity to work in recruiting—helping to match talented candidates with the right company—felt like a meaningful and rewarding next step. Rhiannon allowed me to come and shadow the Forge team for a while, and that sold me on Forge. I always say that the best part of any job is the people, and the team at Forge is so strong and talented, and very warm as well. I believed I could be a good fit."
Bruce received her degree in Business Administration and Management from Bob Jones University, where she was also selected as student body president and served on the student leadership council.
