Sara Wells, Staffing Specialist, joined McCall in 2007 bringing extensive interviewing, counseling and mediation experience to her staffing career. Working closely with Laura, Mari,and Pegi, Sara's role is to interview and offer realistic employment counseling to job candidates and to match those candidates with the assignment and direct-hire needs of McCall client companies.
Before joining McCall, Sara worked as a full-time mediation and bias-awareness professional in New York and part-time in San Francisco. After years of dealing with people and institutions in conflict (including business disputes and domestic abuse issues), Sara is thriving at McCall where, rather than being surrounded by conflict and contention, she is able to apply her listening and problem-solving skills to the life-enhancing, job-matching process.
Sara is a 2000 magna cum laude graduate of State University of NY at New Paltz, where she majored in Sociology. During her early college years, she co-founded and coordinated a successful campus mediation program. As part of ongoing graduate studies, she traveled to South Africa in 2000 to study their apartheid reconciliation process and social welfare system. Sara also has professional experience in writing, hospice work and event coordination as well as training staff in both business and non-profit sectors.
In addition to her full-time employment with McCall, Sara continues to do some part-time mediation casework. Sara loves practicing yoga, meditation, swimming, and writing. She is an ongoing student of Somatic Experience as a healing technique.
