About Lisa

I help companies hire better talent faster, and keep valuable employees longer. I’m a Harbinger of Opportunity & a Purveyor of Possibility. I help individuals and companies accomplish their dreams.

I advocate for people, positions and companies.

I’ve earned the adjectives tenacious, determined and persistent. I pay attention to people and nuances, and I deliver – both to companies seeking talent and to candidates looking for opportunity.

I love to laugh. I believe kindness is important. I think time is too important to be wasted. I must understand what my clients want and need in order to deliver it, so I ask the tough questions and I listen – even to what isn’t spoken. The ability to enthuse is paramount to success in recruiting – and details get people excited – not buzzwords. 

“Positioning by Listening® is not just a catchy buzz phrase. I live it daily.”
— Lisa Rokusek

I am a recruiter, critical thinker, business owner, and bridger of viewpoints.

I’m usually found with one foot planted lightly on either side of most ideological chasms – except fascism. I build no bridges with bigotry! Hate ain’t great.

I work nationwide but do a lot in St. Louis. It is the smallest big city or the largest tiny town I know, and it is my home. I also work extensively on both coasts. I understand the feeding frenzy for skilled technical employees and my response to the insanity is to be more precise, more mindful, and pay more attention to the details.
