Karmen Figueiredo
Managing Partner
Karmen kicked off her Human Resources career over 25 years ago. Moving to the big city was Karmen’s dream and she began her trek to a Human Resources career immediately after attending Capilano University where she studied business.
Her first big break was HR/Payroll to Earls Restaurants who kick started her career at an early age processing payroll for Earls restaurants nationally. After that she worked for 2 giant companies doing human resources, recruiting administration and advising, she was on her way to her next dream of starting a family.
Leaving her career behind she started a family and now has 3 beautiful daughters and is taking motherhood as her priority role. Staying active in the community she used her volunteering and administrative skills to manage the White Eagles soccer club. She also kept busy with her human resources skills assisting the president of the St. Michael Archangel Church with many fundraisers. Later with her youngest about to enter a full time school the timing was perfect to collaborate with Amanda her former colleague and start up their entrepreneurial dream of KAS Recruitment.
Today she is ready and excited to place superstars in your organization.
