Valerie Brennan
My professional journey began as a receptionist in Waltham and has since included roles as Education Coordinator for software companies in Waltham and Bedford, administrative support in manufacturing, and experience in marketing and inside sales throughout the Metrowest region. Each role has sharpened my skills and deepened my commitment to operational excellence.
Driven by a self-made spirit and grounded in real-world experience, I joined Brennan Staffing Group in January 2021, following its acquisition of Stone Staffing. As Operations Manager, I have spearheaded back-office initiatives that streamlined efficiency in Human Resources & Onboarding, Payroll, Billing, and Invoicing. This hands-on approach has allowed me to refine every aspect of our administrative processes.
Inspired by the work of our talented recruiters and the impact they make in people’s careers, I transitioned into recruiting, specializing in both permanent and temporary placements within the administrative field. My passion lies in building meaningful connections and empowering professionals to achieve their goals.
Outside of my professional life, I am dedicated to serving my community through organizations like Leominster Outreach, Ginny’s Helping Hand, and the HFOC Thanksgiving meal program for the homeless and shut ins. My country kitchen license also allows me to bake for non-profits and churches—all labors of love that brings comfort to those in need.
Passionate about people, service, and creating opportunities, I believe every career journey can be transformative and I am committed to supporting others as they pursue their own paths to success.
