Candice Kimone Bio- My name is Candice Kimone, and I was born in Clarendon, Jamaica. At the age of 9, I relocated to the United States and currently reside in the Chicagoland area. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in English and Sociology from Bradley University. With over 10 years of experience in recruiting and HR, I have had the privilege of working alongside exceptional professionals in the industry. I began my career in recruiting at one of the world’s largest and oldest non-profit organizations. Later, I transitioned to a fortune 500 food and beverage company, where I focused on HR Operations within their campus recruiting division. Throughout my career, I have specialized in diversity campus recruiting, corporate recruiting across various levels, including C-Suite, in fields such as HR, Marketing, Finance, IT, and Consulting.
Currently, I serve as the Head of Diversity and Inclusion at one of the fastest growing talent advisory firms in the world.. In this role, I focus on enabling people with the tools, people, and resources they need to make valuable contributions to the overall mission and goal of the organization.
Throughout my ten years I have learned the value of human capital and that nothing is impossible when you have talented people, working at people focused organizations, both committed to working with a purpose. I am here to support you in finding greater meaning and purpose in your work. Work becomes more meaningful when your passions and strengths align. I am dedicated to joining you along this journey and making it a more joyful and transformative experience.
