Anne McDonald, Spokesperson
An avid traveler, Anne spent her college summers exploring the globe, from Montana to Germany to New Zealand to Nepal, before beginning her professional career. After graduating from the University of Puget Sound with a Bachelor of Arts in Western American History, Anne continued to pursue her interest in new adventures and moved to Anchorage, Alaska. While in Anchorage, Anne worked for Princess Cruises & Tours for five years in various roles including Port Operations Manager and Recruiter. Returning to her native Oregon, Anne stayed in the field of hospitality working for both Sunriver Resort and Seventh Mountain Resort.
Recruiting soon called her back, and with her innate ability to find the right match between candidates and clients, Anne spent the next year and a half perfecting her skills at RWJ and Associates, where she ranked as the second-highest producing recruiter in the country in Q2 of 2002.
Anne continued her career in recruiting at Rebound Physical Therapy where she worked as their Recruiter and Human Resource Manager.
Finding great success in recruiting alone, Anne opened her own firm in 2007. Since then, the McDonald Group has placed over 75 candidates, and has grown to include three additional recruiters and one office manager.
Anne’s commitment to the community goes beyond her job as a recruiter and a Central Oregon business owner; Anne is a member of the events committee for Opportunity Knocks, on the Board of Directors for Economic Development of Central Oregon (EDCO), an avid contributor to Soles4Souls, and a co-founder of Empty Bowls. In January of 2011, Anne will be traveling to India with Soles4Souls on a distribution trip. Anne enjoys living in Bend with her family and their Bernese Mountain Dog, Macee. When she’s not at the office or traveling the world, you can find Anne running, skiing, hiking, or rafting.
