Our Story…
Trinity Recruitment was founded by Shelley Widner in 2022. Shelley Wider is the CEO and Chief Recruitment Officer of the company, and has over 20 years of experience in management and recruiting. Thanks to her vast and varied experiences, she was able to collaborate with a colleague to open up her own recruitment agency. Having experienced both sides of the hiring process, Shelley realized that oftentimes there are losses for both sides. There are too many instances in which an employer thinks that they have found a solid candidate, but after a few weeks (or less) it is clearly a poor match. This results in lost time, resources, and a need to restart the hiring process. On the other hand, it may take a qualified candidate months to find and secure employment, only to realize too late that they are not happy in the organization for reasons ranging from job responsibilities to company culture and values. No one wins when the recruitment process results in a loss; overall, a lack of guidance can result in an unsatisfying and unprofitable experience for everyone involved.
This is where Trinity Recruitment comes in: where you may see a stressful endeavor, we see opportunity. With decades of experience and a realm of knowledge invaluable to a potential applicant or employer, Trinity Recruitment will help you develop a genuine community in your organization. While utilizing a personalized and collaborative approach, we will locate potential candidates and conduct a pre-interview consultation to determine how well they may complement your company’s values and goals. Alternatively, we understand that even the most qualified candidates may be overlooked due to discrepancies in resumes or deficiencies in crucial interview skills. This is why we offer to every applicant the complementary opportunity to have an expert review and revise their resumes to be tailored for their career goals. Additionally, our interview toolkit is personalized for each client to provide the exact tools and skills necessary to achieve success in their desired field.
Rudy worked for Ford Motor Company as the Ford Supervisor at Manheim Auto Auto Auction for 21 years. She balanced million-dollar sales biweekly, assured accuracy for documentation, vehicle titles, correct odometer readings history as well as announced any damage at the time of sale. In 2011, the economy saw a huge change in the automobile industry, and the Ford Motor Company decided to make some changes and utilize auctions closer to railways, and therefore Manheim Harrisonburg lost one of their largest accounts. Regretfully, Rudy left this well-loved career, and pursued a career in the Hospitality industry as a manager for Hampton Inn. A lover of all things customer service related, she thrived for almost 10 years as Assistant and eventually General Manager of a large Hotel located in Harrisonburg, VA. Rudy now works with DB Accounting and Trinity Recruitment in many different facets, and her knowledge and client centered nature is invaluable to this business and our community.
Rudy currently lives in Timberville, but is native to the Valley. She is a graduate from Turner Ashby High School, which is also where her 2 sons graduated.
