CEO: Becki Clague

"I love my profession! Especially meeting the candidates and assessing their strengths as well as their passions. On the client side, I truly enjoy meeting the executives. It’s exciting to learn about their organizations, and listening carefully to their needs from a staffing perspective. From there, it’s really a combination of recruiting and matchmaking skills, introducing the two to create long-term professional relationships,” says Becki.

Becki's path to recruiting began after receiving her B.A. in Human Development/ Psychology and then a career in social services. She eventually switched gears, earning her Series 7 and becoming a stockbroker. In 1985, her combined sales and social services background drew her to recruiting as a natural blend of her accumulated skills and experience. Ten years ago, Becki co-founded People Search and is currently CEO of her own firm, California People Search. The firm's focus is on staffing and recruiting all levels of Administration, HR, and Finance-related personnel.

When not recruiting, Becki spends her time traveling between the Bay Area-based business, and building a home in Santa Barbara. She enjoys entertaining, cooking, and gardening. She also balances the demands of her business with volunteer work, rescuing animals. Her charges currently include: a French Mastiff and a small flock of chickens.
