Tracy Tran’s Summary

I am the Founder and CEO of Tran Recruiting, LLC, a Washington D.C. area firm focused on recruiting qualified professionals for non-profits, associations, and small to medium-sized businesses.

As an in-house recruiter, I saw the challenges of finding the right candidates for hard-to-fill positions. After working at a variety of nonprofits in the Washington, D.C. area, I started Tran Recruiting to lend his expertise to local organizations looking for the right fit.

I'm a graduate of George Mason's School of Management and will be a Director-at-Large for George Mason's School of Management Alumni Chapter starting July 1, 2009. I am a member of the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), Northern Virginia SHRM, the Human Resources Association of the National Capital Area (HRA-NCA), ASAE, and the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network (YNPN).

I also created The Human Resources Group on Facebook, which is fast becoming a destination for HR professionals the world over.

On the side, I am notice in the Washington Post for my Washington Capitals tweets for their Stanley Cup run and I am a Tony Kornheiser Radio Show e-mailer, if he ever returns to radio.
