CEO
In her current role as CEO, Jennifer is responsible for leading Benskin & Hott Talent Partners' overall business strategy. With over 18 years of experience in talent acquisition both on the corporate and agency side, Jennifer consults with organizations large and small at the executive level to become a trusted advisor as it relates to their human capital needs. Jennifer's diverse background and experience brings an understanding of human capital measurement and the costs associated with hiring less than optimal performers.

Organizations large and small trust her to fully understand their talent needs and present candidates who most fully meet a position’s requirements. Using creativity, persistence and excellent relationship-building skills, Jennifer goes out of her way to ensure the satisfaction of her client companies and the candidates she places. Her clients rely on her skills, knowledge and expertise gained in conducting hundreds of searches.

Jennifer founded SSP Search Solutions in 2004 and grew the firm into one of the top specialty search organizations in the St. Louis area. In 2009, SSP Search Solutions became Grant Alexander, a separate company of BPI group, a leading human resources and management consultancy. Jennifer led Grant Alexander's national search practice and was involved in conducting professional and executive search assignments on regional, national and international levels. Jennifer has also held positions in accounting, human resources and executive search. She maintains a broad network of colleagues and acquaintances, all of whom are valuable resources in conducting local, regional and national searches.

Jennifer is a firm believer in giving back. She proudly serves on the Board of Youth In Need, a nonprofit child and family services agency. Youth In Need offers more than 50 direct service and support programs to children, teens and families. Jennifer is currently the Director of Programming for the St. Louis Chapter of the National Human Resources Association and has held several Board positions in the past including the role of President.
