My name is Kayla Bleich, and I am a recruiting specialist with Vector Technical. I have been working at Vector for over a year, and my job responsibilities consist of sourcing, cold calling, screening and interviewing candidates to place them in our open job positions that fit their skill set and experiences.

In 2016, I graduated from the Salon Professional Academy in Mayfield, Ohio where I obtained my cosmetology license. Prior to Vector, I worked at the Dino Palmieri hair salon as a certified hairstylist. My job was to consult clients in styles and colors to help achieve their hair goals, and provide professional and outstanding customer service to meet client needs. I have since carried those skills into working with candidates seeking employment.

Outside of work I enjoy trying new restaurants, taking Buzzfeed quizzes and watching my favorite TV show, The Office.

My responsibility at Vector Technical is to work collaboratively with clients and candidates to achieve a common goal. I create effective matches by conducting extensive interviews with both companies and candidates to get a complete picture of both wants and needs. My ability to utilize and customize this approach to different personalities has led to successful, long-term partnerships. My entire career has involved customer service, sales and client relations, and the past seven years focused these skills in the staffing industry. I am originally from West Virginia and currently reside in Concord Township, Ohio. When I am not working you can usually find me cheering my WVU Mountaineer football and basketball teams to victory. I love meeting new people and find great joy in helping facilitate mutually beneficial partnerships between companies and candidates.

I graduated from Perry High School and also attended Lakeland Community College for classes in business management and human resources. The best part of my job is helping candidates find career paths and helping them find jobs they enjoy!

My name is Elaina Muenster, and I joined Vector Technical in November, 2018. As branch manager and senior recruiting specialist, I am responsible for sourcing, attracting and placing job candidates for open positions. My goal is to always meet clients' needs by finding candidates who match organizations' culture and open job positions. I develop strong organizational and communication skills working in the full cycle of the recruiting process, including industry research, cold calling, scheduling, networking and developing and maintaining strong working relationships with candidates, client companies, hiring managers and human resource staff. I also lead, mentor, coach and train the recruiting team to ensure that open positions receive adequate coverage to meet our clients' needs.  

I absolutely love the personal and interpersonal aspects of keeping in touch with individuals throughout the recruiting process. Helping and learning a person’s preferences, both personally and professionally, over time helps me assist them in finding the jobs which make the most sense for them.

I graduated from The University of Akron in 2010 with a Bachelor’s degree in mass communication with a concentration on radio and TV. Prior to joining Vector Technical Inc., I spent time working as a radio personality/intern for Q104’s morning show, Fee’s Kompany in the Morning. From there, I spent a season working as an in-arena host for the Lake Erie Monsters (Cleveland Hockey Team). In 2013, I had the opportunity to work for WHNT News 19 in Huntsville, Alabama (Fox 8 Sister Station) as an interactive content reporter/producer.

Outside the office, I enjoy cooking, traveling, running, photography, crafting, concerts, and spending time with my family and friends.
