Emphasizing Age Diversity in Hiring
During her years in recruiting, Kim has witnessed firsthand how diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts are more often talk than walk, especially when it comes to ageism. As a “grey source” herself, she knew it was time to bring something new to the industry to address this.
As a Certified Diversity Recruiter (C.D.R.), Kim founded GreySource to provide employment matchmaking strategies that intentionally honor and promote multigenerational talent.
Kim aims to flip the script on current attitudes and approaches regarding professionals 55 years of age and better. Instead of age being the elephant in the room, Kim is here to ensure age becomes an active part of all DEIB recruiting efforts and is highlighted for the asset that it is.
Partnering With Hiring Managers to Achieve DEI-Focused Efforts
Your company sees the true value in the diversity of thought, conversation, innovation, and more that comes with an inclusive workforce. You have initiatives to accomplish in DEIB. And you know that achieving full inclusion requires intention and dedication.
Kim and her company, GreySource, work with you so you can remain mindful of all elements of fully inclusive hiring practices, especially those regarding age, during the recruiting process and beyond. A consummate problem-solver and strategic advisor, she will help identify ways to eliminate biases, unconscious and otherwise, from your candidate vetting processes to assist you in creating truly powerful multigenerational teams.
Validating & Championing Job Seekers’ Experiences
Job seekers from all walks of life and all experience levels deserve to be honored and acknowledged for what they uniquely bring to the table. It’s the individual combination of work and life experiences that truly allows each candidate to shine in their own light.
A true champion for her candidates, Kim advocates for you in a way that shows hiring managers how you meet their needs first and foremost—age notwithstanding. Whether you’re looking for your first career or your second-act career, full-time or more flex, Kim is your go-to resource for finding employment matches that fit your needs.
Bringing Extensive Work & Life Experience to the Table
Kim’s success in recruiting stems from her work experiences in organizational development, executive management, and consulting for nonprofit organizations and corporations. She’s held titles like Director of Recruiting, Executive Director, National President, Strategic Accounts Manager, and General Manager.

Additionally, she continues to learn and grow professionally through her memberships with the Texas Diversity Council, the American Management Association, and the Minnesota Talent & Recruiting Network.
Kim’s successes and strengths are only made greater due to her life experiences that round out who she is as a person.

She’s adventurous, evidenced by her living aboard a sailing expedition in the South Pacific for six months. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
