Seeing the Possibilities: How Candace Stainbrook Is Helping Students Think Big

Candace Stainbrook has built a strong reputation for connecting young adults with career opportunities. While her professional accomplishments are noteworthy, her volunteer work with Think Big for Kids in Atlanta holds a special place in her heart.

As a Senior Recruitment Consultant at Hays, Candace draws on her experience in staffing and recruiting across a wide range of industries to help students envision and plan for their futures. Her work bridges the gap between college students and career opportunities, helping graduates take the next steps as they enter the business world.

Through her involvement with Think Big, Candace brings that same knowledge and passion directly to students. By hosting career showcases and serving as a speaker at workshops throughout the Atlanta area, she introduces young people to career paths and opportunities they may never have considered.

With an undergraduate degree in human resources and extensive industry experience, Candace offers students valuable insight, resources, and personal guidance. She understands that many young people have limited exposure to the possibilities available to them and may lack someone to help them navigate the path forward. She is passionate about changing that.

As a volunteer, Candace encourages students to recognize their potential and feel confident dreaming about what their futures can hold. Her message is simple: Think big for yourself. And her enthusiasm and confidence are contagious!

She also helps students recognize that the skills they are developing every day can lay the foundation for future success. From babysitting and dog walking to playing sports and completing school assignments, Candace reminds students that these everyday experiences demonstrate valuable qualities and transferable skills that can even be included on a resume.

Where students may see limited possibilities, Candace sees opportunity.

The road to success isn’t always easy, but dedicated volunteers like Candace are helping students see beyond their current circumstances, discover new opportunities, and build confidence in their futures. Through Think Big for Kids, she is making a lasting difference, one student at a time.
