Our Story
William and Amanda O’Connell launched recruiterboom officially in 2017 with a dream of building an organization that prioritizes a healthy, flourishing culture while leaving a legacy. The key event that sparked the creation of recruiterboom was unexpected, terrifying, and inspiring. Amanda has undergone a life-threatening brain tumor surgery just a year prior. After her recovery, with new perspective and a grateful mindset, they were proactive in making their dream come to life. With a growing family and a desire to create a lifestyle with more freedom and flexibility, the O’Connell’s opened their doors in Nashua, NH, hiring their very first team members that are still with recruiterboom today. Since that launch, they have experienced exponential growth, but also an intense feeling of fulfillment and gratitude.
With Will’s over a decade of success in building recruiting teams for industry-leading agencies and top sales performance, he gained the experience and tenacity to be able to hire, train and implement a successful recruiting system for recruiterboom that continues to evolve today with the company’s expansion. Amanda’s drive and passion allowed her to dive into the recruiting world with energy, excitement, and a newfound love for providing fulfilling opportunities, developing key relationships, and empowering her teams.
Will and Amanda’s passion for marketing, creativity and innovation inspired them to create a cutting-edge brand that attracts talent both internally and for their top-tier clients. Most importantly, they have truly found the most vibrant, trustworthy, and hard-working team that has been able to help them fulfill lofty goals of opening recruiterboom branches in Greater Boston and the Midwest—and continuing to grow and expand today.
