Burned-out from the typical recruiting world, Tifhani Ristick started SHINE Career Whispering to offer her career coaching magic to the world. While the coaching business was successful from the beginning, she had a glimmer of knowing that she truly wanted to build something bigger where she can continue to make a positive impact on people while creating a sustainable and fulfilling opportunity for the best talent in the industry.

Within months, Arienne White, her previous colleague and recruitment/operations superstar, reached out to discuss opportunities to work together again. After one life-changing phone call, they joined forces and SHINE Career Collective was born.

They quickly realized that not only do great humans need help with their careers, there are many companies in the world – purpose-led, people-first companies – who don’t have the time or resources to develop teams or create processes to sustain them. They don’t just need “positions filled” by a staffing company, they need someone to help them build everything out AND serve as their in-house, outsourced recruitment team. 

What started as a 2-week contract with a Portland area manufacturer became a long-term relationship that SHINE still fulfills today and has organically expanded into long- and short-term projects for dozens of clients. 

Today, the team continues to grow along with the demand for new and innovative talent solutions.
