About Gina Peckman

For over 25 years, Gina Peckman has brought a simple credo to the process and business of recruiting: caring is the ultimate competitive advantage.

That philosophy has shaped Dynamo Recruiting, a firm she founded in 1998 when she saw an opportunity to create a new type of executive search firm based on communication and understanding. Gina forges long-term relationships with her corporate clients, learning each company's particular culture and needs in order to source the most qualified and appropriate professionals for each.

Candidates and clients trust Gina to bring professional yet highly personalized attention to the search process. She combines expert recruitment strategy, industry insight, keen business acumen and long-range vision with a passionate edge – all honed by over 20 years of experience in what really works in recruiting.

"Caring truly is the ultimate competitive advantage," says Gina, "because it forges extraordinarily powerful relationships. My clients and candidates stay connected for years, which makes for an exceptionally strong professional network, and a pool of talent that is both broad in experience and deep in expertise."

Before founding Dynamo Recruiting in 1998, Gina served as Executive Director at Access Personnel, a leading executive search firm, where she grew a team of twenty recruiters and launched one of the first contractor practices in the region. Prior to Access, she managed all contracts and customer service, and managed a staff of twenty for Thousand Trails and American Adventure.

A member of the Entrepreneur Network Association, Gina also is affiliated with the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM), and the Pacific Northwest Recruiters Network. She is certified in Behavioral Interviewing, a method of candidate assessment that yields a highly accurate picture of an applicant's strengths and weaknesses.

Gina is proud to have been married over 30 years and has four children and three grandchildren. She is a self-professed adrenaline junkie, loves scuba diving and hiking, and as much as she is at home in the city, is just as comfortable chopping wood east of the Cascades.

Gina was profiled in the Wall Street Journal as a "leading recruiting entrepreneur." (Tuesday, January 23, 2001).
