My commitment to overseeing these diverse lines of business for fostering the evolution of AMI Network.

I Grew up in the San Fernando Valley, attended UCLA, fell in love with the weather and culture on the west side and have lived here ever since. Founded AMI Network in 2010, at the ripe age of 24. It’s been an incredible journey growing the business from my parents garage into a top 10% search firm in the United States. Watching the team grow, develop and continue to excel has been an incredibly gratifying feeling and thinking about growth plans over the next 5-10 years are the reason I wake up at night!

Director, Direct Hire Recruitment

Genevieve Tyler

As the Direct Hire Recruitment Manager, recruiting speaks to my personal mission of changing people’s lives for the better. I lead a team of extremely talented recruiters who share the same passion for making a difference in people’s lives. Together, we work towards our mission of helping healthcare professionals and executive leaders find fulfilling careers. With my background in healthcare recruiting, brand management, and talent marketing, I guide my team to understand the market. We build strong relationships with our candidates, ensuring that we find the perfect match for each role we fill.

A fun fact about me is that my entire family is from South Africa. I have gotten to travel there pretty frequently – my sister and most of my extended family still live in South Africa. I would highly recommend the wine route in Stellenbosch for the best wine tastings in the world!

Operations Manager

Katie Goddard

Starting at AMI Network, I quickly realized that my initial career plans were about to take an exciting turn. The recruitment industry captured my heart from the very beginning. Coming from many areas in the hospitality industry, where I spent a decade honing my skills, I was well-prepared to thrive in the unpredictable world of healthcare recruitment.

When I'm not busy putting out fires and ensuring smooth operations at AMI Network, you can often find me at Trader Joe's or taking a meeting on my way out to the airport to explore the next cool spot on my bucket list.

Manager, RPO Recruitment

Nicole Russi

As the Recruitment Manager responsible for overseeing our RPO recruiters and clients, my absolute favorite part of my role is helping our recruiters unlock their full potential and achieve outstanding results. There’s nothing quite as rewarding as witnessing the incredible impact we make in the organizations we partner with. Together, we create success stories that leave a lasting mark, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of this journey with our incredible team.

I love what I do here at AMI Network, the real reason I enjoy my job is because of the amazing humans I get the pleasure of working with every day. I grew up in a very small town in Northern California, and had 5 goats and 3 horses! Still not sure how I wound up in Los Angeles, but I’m loving it here.

Business Development Manager

Joseph Stedman

After 7 years in the outdoor industry, I left my career of managing high-performing teams and building world-class rock climbing gyms to finish school and seek out a new start in the Healthcare industry. In my role as Business Development Specialist at AMI Network, I  bring a dynamic approach to building partnerships and driving revenue growth. I take pride in understanding our client’s needs and identifying top talent to help them achieve their business objectives. Leveraging AMI’s all-star Recruiters and cutting-edge Research teams, I strive to provide our clients with the best talent solutions available. 

My wife and I are currently traveling the U.S. in a big blue converted school bus; enjoying the outdoors, ALL the food, live music, and an endless summer with our 2 dogs (Detroit & Rockie) and our cat (Otis). Ask me about my favorite camping and surfing spots or how my golf swing is coming along (spoiler alert- not well.) 

Operations Lead

Jessica Keesee

I joined AMI in February of 2022 and have had the opportunity to work with each of our service lines, as well as with clients and candidates.

My favorite part of my job is the ability to coordinate all the moving parts and help the team get to the finish line with projects. We are always looking for new and exciting tools that can help the team grow and strengthen our ability to place stellar candidates in their perfect roles.

When I am not seeking out fun improvement projects for our team, I am spending time with my husband & son, Brian & Damien. We love trying new restaurants and bakeries in Houston and taking our 2 dogs, Buddy Howly & Stevie Licks to the dog park.

Direct Hire Recruiter

Abby McLaughlin

I’m Abby – your go-to for all things behavioral health recruiting at AMI. I found a posting for AMI on Indeed and thought, “This can’t be real, can it?” But as fate would have it, I was about to discover my true passion – helping others find their dream job. As a former 911 dispatcher, mental health has always been at the forefront of my mind. I know how important it is to find a job that aligns with your values and passions. That’s why I feel incredibly fortunate to spend my days connecting with therapists and social workers and helping them find the perfect job that fulfills their career goals.

Having spent multiple years shadowing medical professionals in many different capacities gave me a unique understanding and respect for our countries healers. Five years of experience in communications as an emergency dispatcher gave me the knowledge and ability to work effectively to meet the needs of clients and potential candidates alike. When I'm not working you can find me and my golden retriever, Gibson, looking for new trails to hike in the mountains!

I genuinely enjoy collaborating with both clients and candidates to ensure a seamless and mutually beneficial match.

I applied to AMI Network with understanding of the direction and work/life balance this company has planned and implements. Moving back to Temporary Staffing with my background, I was ready to tackle a rapidly growing agency and happy I did. When I am not helping organizations staff their job sites, I enjoy traveling and cooking. Once a year I try to do a vacation overseas. My favorite so far is Florence, Italy.
