About Us

Hello

I'm Karen Surgent

  • LinkedIn

As a small business owner with over two decades of experience, I have developed expertise in assisting hiring managers and in-house recruiters in finding and hiring exceptional talent within the digital Media, Marketing and Advertising Industries. My mission is to make the job search and hiring process more efficient and enjoyable for both my clients and candidates. In other words, I give my clients the white glove treatment, taking on only a certain number of clients to give my undivided attention to their talent needs. 

 

My career began at BBDO New York, where I acquired crucial insights into the attributes necessary for success in a global fast-paced agency setting. This foundation, combined with my consistent track record, has established my reputation as a trusted partner for both prominent clients and candidates, encompassing industry innovators and emerging leaders. 

What people are saying.

"Karen at Spark Talent not only excels at the nuts-and-bolts aspect of staff sourcing and hiring, but also shows compassion and grace to each stage of a difficult process - a skill that is often ignored and woefully undervalued. Karen is a true professional, bringing value to an organizational through her skill-set and knowledge and also through her genuine empathy and understanding for the human side of the process."

Mark Schwartz

Chief Marketing Officer
