GET TO KNOW KIMBERLY GRIMES, HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER
Tell us about the career journey that brought you to Elite365.
I was fortunate enough to join the Elite365 family when the previous rehabilitation center I worked for was scheduled to close. The medical field was something I was always interested in being a part of. One of the biggest things that appealed to me about this company was the ability to get in on the ground floor. I love the opportunity to not only help build the company, but to grow with this company! This is something I strive for every single day.
How many years have you been in the Recruiting Industry?
10+ years – most of which have been in the medical and aviation field.

My first job was at the original Palm Beach Mall at a woman’s clothing store called Rave.
