Robyn Barber

“Robyn's biggest strength is her ability to zoom in and out and turn on a dime (at IDEX we called this ‘telescoping’). Robyn built remarkable rapport across the enterprise as she guided large corporate and field teams to stay decidedly accountable to the customer. She’s one of the most visionary/strategically savvy TA leaders I've had the pleasure to work under. I know her to possess a smattering of in-demand qualities that define a selfless and dedicated leader. She is firm, fair, confident, caring, empathetic, humble, resilient, open-minded, ethical, communicative, courageous, influential, and best of all, she empowers her team to perform at the highest level. I experienced this firsthand. Robyn is someone who takes the long view with talent under her watch. She helped me grow a great deal over the three years that I reported to her. I especially enjoyed that she always challenged me, kept an open door, and led by example. I especially respected how good of a listener she always was, which gave her the ability to offer up purposeful guidance. Lastly, I can’t say this enough—she is hands down one of the most memorable leaders I have EVER worked for; the type of person you want to run through a brick wall to impress. She's well-practiced and highly polished in front of the C-Suite and/or a board of directors, and yet down to earth enough to get to know anyone/everyone in her general orbit. There are so many other things I could go on and on about, but she always taught me to 'be brief, be brilliant, and be gone!' So, with that in mind, I would highly recommend her in any capacity.”

“Robyn is an outstanding Talent Acquisition leader! Having worked with her on multiple searches during our time at IDEX, I have seen her consistently dig in to understand the job specs, the leader for which the candidate will work and the culture of the specific business unit. She will appropriately push back when our hiring managers were looking for the impossible and consistently recommended candidates who fit the role perfectly. Even when we didn't have an opening in our area, her eye for talent was always engaged for IDEX, connecting us with people who were perfect for our business units and who we very often went on to hire. Robyn is also an excellent leader and developer of people. Both seasoned recruiters and new graduates thrived on her team as she effortlessly adjusted her style to their individual needs. I would work with Robyn again in a heartbeat!”
