To Whom It May Concern:
I have worked closely with Kimberley Ashley over the lastfour years in my roleas the primary physician
responsiblefor recruitingfor the Mills Peninsula Division of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. Kimberley has
excelled in her position as recruiter,helpingus recruitmany new physicians to our organization in both primary
careand specialty fields.
Kimberley possesses a wonderful senseof people. She truly spends the time needed to get to know candidates.
With that she is ableto present objective information regardinga candidate. Usingher knowledge of the
organization and vastrecruitingexperienceshe is ableto make a recommendation about the candidate’s “fit” in
the organization.
I attended several job fairs with Kimberley where I observed her interactions with potential candidates. Shewas
easily ableto answer questions from interested physiciansand determine their true level of interest in our
organization. She acted professionally in answeringa widerange of questions even when it was apparent the
candidatewasn’t truly interested.
I volunteered to write this recommendation for Kimberley becauseI am very grateful for the amazing work she has
done for our organization. She has helped tremendously in coachingphysicians,includingmyself,in how to get to
know candidates within a limited amount of time; askingthe right questions to understand not only candidates’
knowledge but equally importanttheir work ethics and behaviors.
Kimberley has an excellent work ethic herself. She has always been easily availableand willingto talk about
current candidates. She is obviously committed to her work. Please feel free to contact me if you have any
questions about this outstandingrecruiter.
