GINA VAN OPENS

Gina Van Opens

President

Gina has over 20 years of experience in the staffing industry, plus 8 years in business in areas including project management, marketing, IT channel sales, managed services, application development, and business leadership. Gina impresses hiring managers because she can talk “tech” about development, languages, hardware, telecommunication, and pretty much all aspects of IT.

Seeking to find a better work/life balance, Gina realized that today’s cloud-based infrastructures could level the playing field and allow her company, and those wanting to start their own companies, the same capabilities as larger ones, but with more flexibility and lower overhead.

Gina is known as a “pay it forward” person. She takes pride in connecting great employees with employers. In addition, Gina stays abreast of industry trends and the pulse of the local job market. She truly enjoys introducing the candidates she represents to prospective employers, acting as a “brand emissary” to deliver that employer’s brand message.

As a collaborative and strategic servant leader, she understands the importance of investing in her employees so that they have the tools and knowledge to be experts. She takes time to mentor and coach her team so that they deliver the quality of talent that our clients expect.

Gina shares her knowledge and experience with the business community, offering insights as a business owner and industry expert.

PETE VAN OPENS

Pete Van Opens

Vice-President

Pete has over 30 years of experience in IT, customer experience, leadership, training, and finance. His role is to ensure that the decks are clear for our team to function and make best use of our tools and infrastructure, and to insure that we are professional grade, all the way.

His many behind-the-scenes roles make him an expert in back office operations. While other small businesses work out of a bedroom and consider back office to be an annoyance, Pete prides himself on the smooth operation of all facets of our business. Our industry-proven, enterprise class tools, products, and architecture (that many medium to large organizations lack) is integral to our business to provide professional support to clients, candidates, and our partners.

Pete’s penchant for writing and “process” means that there is a documented process for everything, ensuring that we comply with FCRA rules for data protection. Data is backed up regularly and securely. Redundancies abound. Pete developed and successfully tested our business continuity plan. The architecture and processes have allowed us to work remotely from the start. We can work from anywhere so that we’re ready to help you.

Other Partnerships

We have partnerships with multiple other small organizations that provide increased depth.

In addition, we are working to bring on additional partners under the Integral Recruiting Services brand.

We're proud to be an SBA-designated woman-owned small business employing and actively working with veterans!
