(February 3, 2010) – Arcus, an international talent management and consulting solutions company announced today that Brenda Fraunfelter will serve as Coordinator of Latin American Delivery to bridge the gap between its offices in the United States and Costa Rica. Her industry experience, late night sourcing, strategic planning and commitment to the team have landed her this perfectly suited new role.

Arcus launched its near shore solutions center in the spring of last year in San José, Costa Rica and has experienced significant growth and opportunity within the country. Through rigorous training that spanned several months, the team of nearly 30 was quickly taught about the company’s strong culture and its in-depth sales and recruiting processes. As a result of their solid understanding of Arcus and why the organization continues to be different, the Costa Rican team has been able to play a significant role in the company’s ongoing success story in the United States and the value add it can now offer to clients. And, now, with Brenda serving as a liaison and coordinating the delivery efforts between the two countries, Arcus continues to set itself apart and raise the level of its game within the industry even more.

“Brenda’s experience, enthusiasm, commitment and willingness to help others experience success is what makes her special and an invaluable member of the Arcus team,” said R. Douglas Firestone, President and CEO of Arcus. “I look forward to the direction and the accomplishments to come as a result of Brenda’s leadership.”
