Clara’s journey at NSB began with a desire for something more than a job. She was looking for a place where people truly mattered—a company that valued its employees and fostered a sense of family. From the start, NSB offered just that. Today, Clara has become a vital part of the recruiting team, known for her creativity, problem-solving, and ability to connect with people in meaningful ways.
For Clara, joining NSB was about finding the right fit—a company that reflected her own values of trust, care, and teamwork.
“I was inspired to join NSB because it is a family-owned and family-oriented company. I wanted to be part of a team that genuinely cares about and values its employees. Since joining, my journey has been incredibly rewarding—becoming part of the NSB family has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve made.”
From day one, Clara knew she’d made the right choice. The supportive environment allowed her to thrive while helping build a stronger, more connected team.
Clara’s approach to recruiting is about more than just filling positions—it’s about shaping a team that will succeed together. She brings creativity and forward-thinking solutions to every challenge, helping the recruiting department constantly improve.
“I try to bring new ideas to our recruiting team by thinking outside of the box and always coming up with new ways to improve our hiring process. During our recruiting meetings, we collaborate and share feedback on how our current recruiting efforts are doing and how we can continue to improve the candidate’s experience.”
Through collaboration and open feedback, Clara ensures that NSB’s recruiting efforts don’t just attract talent but create lasting opportunities for new team members.
While Clara entered NSB with strong communication skills from her time as a Navy air traffic controller, recruiting introduced her to a whole new way of connecting with people.
“I thought I had strong communication skills, but recruiting has taught me something completely new: connecting with people, understanding their goals, and finding the right opportunities within our team.”
This ability to truly listen and guide candidates has made Clara a cornerstone of NSB’s growth and success.
Recruiting isn’t without its challenges, but Clara has embraced them head-on. Over the years, she has helped bring in many of NSB’s successful collectors, strengthening both the company and its service to clients.
“When it comes to recruiting, there are always challenges that we have to face daily. Throughout my years at NSB, I’ve been proud to find and bring on board many of our successful collectors. These team members have made a meaningful impact on both NSB and our clients. It’s not just about filling roles—it’s about investing the time to understand each person and finding the right fit so they can thrive.”
Thanks to Clara’s dedication, NSB continues to grow with a team built to last.
Clara knows that staying energized at work starts with taking care of herself outside of it. She’s intentional about balancing her professional and personal life through activities that bring her joy and renewal.
“Work-life balance is very important to me! I love to go backpacking on the weekends, reading, crocheting, and playing with my pets—two dogs and a cat. I also take yearly trips back to Ohio to visit family and friends. It’s always refreshing to spend quality time with them since I live so far away.”
These moments of rest and connection fuel Clara’s motivation and focus, allowing her to bring her best self to NSB every day.
Clara’s journey reflects NSB’s heart—a company built on family values, teamwork, and a commitment to helping people grow. Through her innovative recruiting approach, strong communication, and dedication to finding the right fit for every new hire, Clara has played a key role in shaping the company’s success.
