Why Daybreak?


SCROLL DOWN

Why Daybreak?



Traditional staffing is a numbers game. Clients have budgets and schedules; recruiters have deadlines and quotas, and candidates are nothing more than the means to an end. It’s impersonal. It’s antiquated. It’s ineffective.

We worked in this world and knew things had to change. That’s why we started Daybreak. We bring empathy, aptitude, and a whole lot of personality to the table. We’re unconventional, and that's why what we do works.

Who is Daybreak?



Sonny Gupta
Partner

At Daybreak, Vinnie and I have built a company that strives to help people find careers that are engaging, rewarding, and fulfilling. Being able to help job seekers find a job that is more than just a paycheck is what led me to entrepreneurship. I enjoy learning new things and I jump at the opportunity for new experiences. Outside of work, I'm usually spending time with my family, visiting local breweries and restaurants, running, or hopping on a flight towards a new destination. GO HOKIES!

Lauren Sturgill
Business Development Manager

At Daybreak, I get to be a part of a great team. My favorite thing about being a recruiter is finding the right fit for both the client and the candidate. My favorite RVA restaurants include Jack Brown's, Red Salt, and Tazza Kitchen. When I'm not at work, you may find me hiking or cheering on the Kentucky Wildcats with my new puppy Woodford.

One of the many reasons I decided to join Daybreak is because I love connecting with people and leaving a positive impact on others. I was previously a teacher for 7 years and I love guiding people towards their future. In my free time I enjoy visiting new cities, wineries, and great places to eat with my husband! When relaxing at home, you can find us snuggled up with our dog, Foster!

"Work hard, play harder." I want to be someone the people around me can count on. Working at Daybreak gives me the opportunity to help people grow into a new position, meet their desired salary, or work for a local company.

Seetarama Raju
Senior Recruiter

Being a recruiter enables me to guide people through the hiring process, including setting goals and helping them to secure their intended position. No two days are the same, I get to interact with different people every day. Although being a recruiter often gets mixed in with my daily routine, when not working, I enjoy exercising and spending time with my family.

Jake Hughes
Recruiter

As a recruiter, I enjoy wearing many different hats and learning something new every day. I strive to make a positive impact on all the individuals I connect with daily. I've always lived by the Golden Rule, and it hasn't let me down thus far. Recruiting is a rewarding career that makes all of my efforts worthwhile. The culture at DayBreak is unmatched, with an outstanding and hardworking team. Outside of work, my hobbies include; hiking, skiing and playing golf. As Steve Jobs once said, "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do”

Scott Staib
Recruiting Manager

My favorite thing about being a recruiter is that it allows me to wear many different hats. Some days I am a detective, other days I build puzzles or act as a salesman. I enjoy getting to know people while learning about their differences and what makes them tick. When I am not at work, I am binge-watching Netflix shows, gardening, or golfing. The best piece of advice I have ever received is "When it comes to shopping - don’t cut corners on your shoes or your mattress, because you will spend one-third of your life on each.”
