Get To Know Us
Celine Recruiting has been in play years before it has been in business.
The firm was founded by Arielle Kogut Alexander, who built her career in finance before becoming an entrepreneur. She has a lifelong passion for connecting, mentoring and helping people advance their careers, and she understands the ins and outs of the finance industry.
From her days at Columbia University and throughout her career, Arielle has been cultivating relationships and friendships by carefully listening to each individual's needs and ambitions.
Often, they would be looking to advance their career, for mentorship on switching to a different field, or if they were business owners or in a hiring capacity, to fill their open roles with curated talent.
Arielle would make strategic introductions and help her connections unlock their next transformative career move or find their next top-performing employees.
Having placed these candidates over the years and seeing the impact a thoughtful placement can have on both individuals and firms, Arielle started her own recruitment agency in 2022 to bring a more personal approach to staffing and an elevated experience for talent.
​
Our firm's approach to staffing remains the same:
-
Carefully listen
-
Cultivate relationships
-
Continually grow a curated network
-
Create successful pairings between exceptional talent and extraordinary roles.
