Working in the Banking industry in mortgage origination she found herself in a male dominated industry working for banks such as HSBC Mortgage Corp. and CitiMortgage Citi Corp. Although the pace was much loved and the thrill of helping someone buy a new home was exhilarating a change was on the horizon. Julie found herself looking to make a change in her life and career path. Julie went on to manage the Adecco office in White Plains, NY where she recruited, placed and managed human resource functions and payroll for over 100 employees in White Plains and later in Poughkeepsie. Julie was later approached by a local company Staff-Line, a local PEO where she was the Business Development Manager. IES met Julie at business events and realized she would make a great addition to our staff. Due to timing and planning we were able to bring Julie on board in 2008.
