The Carol Wenom Story | 30 Years in 3 Minutes

Ms. Wenom began her recruiting career in 1978 with one of the nation's largest engineering placement firms based in Houston. She became Manager of a major technical recruiting firm in Dallas for six years before returning to Houston as Vice President of Whitaker Technical Services in 1989. Ms Wenom has achieved “preferred provider” or “exclusive provider” status with many of her clients.

Consistently a top producer in the recruiting industry, Ms. Wenom has been recognized with numerous production awards at local, state and national levels. She was inducted into the Pinnacle Society (the nation's premier consortium of top recruiters within the permanent placement and search industry), in 1996.

In 1985 and 1992 respectively, she was awarded the CPC (Certified Personnel Consultant) and CTS (Certified Temporary Staffing Specialist) designations, attesting to her continued commitment to the highest standards of legal and ethical business practice. She was honored in 1992 as the Houston Area "Consultant of the Year" and "CTS of the Year" by TAPC (Texas Association of Personnel Consultants). In 1994, Ms. Wenom was also recognized by NAPS (National Association of Personnel Services) as "CPC of the Year". In 2003, the HAAPC (Houston Area Association of Personnel Consultants) recognized Ms. Wenom for her Outstanding Contributions to the Professional Staffing Industry. Ms. Wenom is currently the Chairman of the Board for NAPS (National Association of Personnel Services). She also currently serves as a Founder and Director for the Rocky Mountain Association of Recruiters.

In addition to her operational roles at Whitaker, Ms. Wenom also serves as Vice President of Training and Organizational Development. She conducts both new-hire and on-going training for all three divisions and five branch offices of the company. She has also developed a series of training videos introducing the Fundamentals of the Staffing Industry that is now being offered throughout the industry nationwide.

As a noted speaker/trainer in our industry, Ms Wenom’s affiliations include NAPS (National Association of Personnel Services), ACSESS (Association of Canadian Search, Employment and Staffing Services), ASA (American Staffing Association), NPA (National Personnel Association)) and IPA (International Personnel Assn). Ms. Wenom has also made "guest appearances" for SHRM (Society of Human Resource Management).

Ms. Wenom received her Bachelor's degree from Syracuse University in 1973, with a dual major in English and Communications. Prior to her career in recruiting, Ms. Wenom worked in both technical and training positions for Western Geophysical Company of America based in Houston.
