Crystal Lee – VP of Recruitment for Search Masters specializing in placements for the world of Accounting, HR, Real Estate Development and Legal. Prior to becoming a full-time recruiter, Crystal had been in public accounting for over 12 years. As a Tax Manager she focused on helping high net worth individuals with their tax compliance and planning needs while heavily participating in firm growth via recruiting. Crystal’s love for recruiting started with her days at University of San Francisco where she worked in HR for four years. After seeing that she was responsible for having hired nearly 30% of the staff at her last firm, she realized she had to go for recruiting full-time.
Since the age of 5, Crystal was classically trained in ballet and jazz. In high school she moved on to other dance styles including hip-hop and ballroom. As an adult she joined Symbolic Mambo, a salsa team under the direction of Hong Kwon and then Ava Apple specializing in mid to low level lifts and tricks, performing all over the SF Bay Area. No matter which position she’s in, she always finds that her dance background follows her from mental preparation down to when it’s time to perform an actual presentation, to really give people something to remember.
