Meet Your Recruiter

Erin Hoke

My career began in the hospitality industry, but I sought a change for better work-life balance and family considerations.  I moved into the world of recruiting in 1999, I started in light industrial roles and gradually specialized in contract and permanent placements across a wide range of technical industries.

In 2006, I co-founded Recruiting Resources with my father, focusing on professional services and human resources staffing for both small and national companies. In 2011, I became an independent recruiter, partnering with a small Firm in the Maryland area where I concentrated on sourcing talent primarily for the Life Sciences industry but also expanded into non-technical areas.

Throughout my career, I have valued personal connections and helping individuals find positions that align with their expertise and lifestyle. My journey reflects adaptability, entrepreneurship, and a passion for facilitating meaningful career opportunities for others.  I joined Lloyd Staffing in Aug 2024 to specialize again in Life Sciences.

In my free time, I spend most of my time with my son. We have become quite the fishermen over the past 5 years.
