I am Samantha Russell, an HR professional and recruiter with a decade of industry experience spanning talent acquisition, workforce planning, and career development.
My background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Justice, HR studies at Durham College, and hands-on recruitment experience including work at CAMH, one of Canada's most respected mental health organizations. I understand how hiring decisions are made because I have been the one making them.
In 2017, I opened One Stop Therapy Shop, a brand built on the belief that professional quality support should not be reserved for people who can afford premium retainers. That mission has not changed. The focus has.
Today, every service I offer is designed to answer one question: Why should I trust Samantha Russell with my career? I hope what you find here answers it.
Whether you're job searching, leveling up, or managing a team, I have exactly what you need.
You've been applying and hearing nothing. Your resume is going into the void. An actual recruiter who's sat on both sides of the hiring table can fix that, fast.
You're ready for a promotion, a pivot, or a completely new direction. You need strategy and positioning, not just a pretty document. Let's build the narrative that gets you there.
You need compliant HR templates, professional tools, and practical resources, without hiring a full HR department. Built by an HR professional, for Canadian businesses.
