Donna is one of the most professional, level-headed, hard-working, and efficient individuals I know. I have known Donna for over 10 years and have found her to be extremely personable, responsive, detailed oriented, and skilled in every aspect of recruiting. She is committed to success and can always find a way to get the job done with a high amount of integrity and dignity. She approaches every challenge with a positive attitude and welcomes change. Speaking of change, she is also an awesome personal results coach. Try her coaching sessions! She gives you confidence and a different perspective on life that helps you to achieve the results you want. Hats off to you Donna!
One of the best things that has ever happened to my organization is Donna Fedor and Affinity! We had a very specific candidate in mind which we thought was impossible to find…but Donna found her! After our initial conversation, I felt that Donna understood our organization, our needs, and was able to find our candidate is a very short time. She understands that every organizational culture is different and applies her keen abilities to find the right fit. The candidate that Donna placed with us is a superstar and has really helped us get to the next level! Thank you!
Lauren Wiginton, Director of OperationsI have worked with Donna for eight years and in that time her professionalism, dedication to her clients and understanding of the search process was always stellar. Her positive attitude and hard work ethic kept all of us going during difficult searches. Donna has a way with people that I have not seen in other recruiters. People are automatically drawn to her, which is why she is terrific in her chosen profession. I would recommend Donna on administrative to executive level searches which is not something most recruiters can handle. She is always very responsive and keeps her clients “in the loop” of the search process. Overall, Donna is a dynamic and creative individual which makes her recruiting talent even more unique and stronger than most.
Overall, I have always had a very positive experience working with Donna in selecting people to fill my open positions. From the moment she answers the phone, she has a very cheerful and enthusiastic voice which clearly demonstrates her confidence in meeting my hiring needs. What I appreciate most about Donna’s recruiting ability is the excellent fit of the people she has referred to me. I have two people which she recruited for my positions which have been with me for over 6 years. I would highly recommend Donna since she has demonstrated that she carefully extracts from me an excellent understanding of the scope and required skills of my open positions. Then she carefully matches individuals with skill sets as well as the interface/personality skills needed to be successful in the positions. Her experience and dedication to her profession has been demonstrated to me many times. I will continue to use Donna for all my recruiting needs in the future as I have over the past 8 years.
Recruiting is a huge investment for a company and hiring the right people is one of the most important decisions for Human Resources. Having a recruiter that has gained your trust and gets the right people in front of your managers is a great support to Human Resources. The first thing that makes Donna such a strong recruiter is that she sincerely cares about both the client and the candidate. She consistently demonstrated her ability in sending quality candidates and in using good judgment in not sending candidates that were not a match for our positions. She has the skill of looking beyond the job description and being committed to finding the best possible fit. She nurtures every step of the process to ensure the best interests of all are addressed and as a result we trusted and called upon her consistently year after year to fill our open positions.

I worked closely with Donna when I had to hire a large number of employees for an ecommerce business. Donna went the extra mile to understand the company, both it’s needs and ambiance, and then to make the best match with candidates. She has the instinct to put people where they can not only make a difference, but be happy in their position. A win: win for company, employee, and customer.
In my experience what makes Donna stand apart from the other recruiters is that she takes time to understand our business, what is important to me as the hiring manager, and she only sends the candidates that are a strong match. She won’t send candidates just to send resumes. On the other hand she is very clear in communicating and works aggressively to find the right caliber candidates. At times when she finds exceptional candidates when we are not conducting a search, she will call to let me know so we don’t miss out. She truly is a great business partner and clearly the top recruiter that I’ve worked with. I only wish more recruiters were like her.

Donna was considered a partner in helping us to achieve our goals. She assisted us with developing a dedicated, cohesive and a tightly integrated team. She specifically took the time to help determine the right person for the right position. She listened to feedback and incorporated that into future candidate searches. Her follow-up was excellent and her dedication unsurpassed.
I have been working with Donna for over two years and have enjoyed every minute. Donna’s experience as a recruiter enables her to explain in clear logical steps the hiring process and the actions we should follow as interviewee. Without Donna’s help, I would not have this wonderful Program Management position.

Vibrant is the word that comes to mind when I think about Donna. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Donna since early 2014. I was immediately impressed with Donna’s ability to cut through the murky thinking that we can experience during a job search. Her insights and experience as a top recruiter are invaluable. Donna is a consummate professional and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.

Donna has been a fantastic resource. I have known her since the late 1990’s, since early in my professional career. Her advice and practical techniques have always been spot on, providing ideas and ways to move forward. She listens closely, clarifies and provides succinct suggestions. I frequently recommend her to colleagues and will continue to do so.

Reaching out to Donna was long overdue. I felt like I was spinning my wheels to find the right job. Donna has a way with words that makes you so comfortable on how to handles life’s interruptions. She has a very positive, real, caring way about her and provided me with the support and coaching I needed to land a great job. No doubt she is passionate in what she does. Thank you Donna. You’re the best
Linda Gladstone , Inside Sales RepresentativeI have had the extreme pleasure of working with Donna on a search. Donna is very detailed and thorough in her communication both with clients and candidates. She is inclined to make sure the client will have a solid employee for years to come, and that the candidate will be appreciated as a valuable asset, with both sides winning. All parties will value her detailed, timely and thorough communications, yet her enthusiasm for her work is just fun to be around!
Gretchen Ibarra, Nat'l Recruiter-Technology Sales, MarketingI have known Donna for 5 years both personally and professionally. She is a very motivated woman, passionate about what she does & is a great resource for anyone looking for a sales position in the Bay Area. She found me my current position and I wasn’t even looking to leave my former employer! I’d recommend Donna to anyone!
