Meet the Team Behind PRTNR
Human at the Core. Honest by Design.
PRTNR was built on the belief that human interaction and honest communication are still key in recruiting. We’ve seen firsthand how the right people make all the difference to a company’s success and how transactional the hiring process had become. As former insiders, each of us came to recruiting from within the industry, whether in design, wholesale, marketing, or retail; so we understand the nuance of hiring smart to ensure everyone thrives.
We’re more than recruiters. We’re partners in building teams that last.
Mackenzie Caston
A former Reformation and FRAME insider, Mackenzie brings firsthand brand experience and a deep network to every search. She believes great recruiting comes from true partnership, not transactions; which is how the name PRTNR was born. She lives in Venice, CA, and is always on the move snowboarding, cycling, or chasing the next great hike.
