Elissa Krajcer departs Talent Transfer after five months
Digital recruiter Elissa Krajcer has exited recruitment firm Talent Transfer after just five months as director.
Krajcer’s arrival in August last year was not without controversy when she declared that she had left her previous company – FBI Recruitment – to work “with people who get” digital. She has now started her own agency because she believes the market now wants integrated staff rather than digital specialists.
She previously lasted three months at FBI, a firm that had hired her after a global search.
Prior to FBI, she had a seven month stint at ICUR.
Bart Jawien, director of Talent Transfer, told Mumbrella: “Unfortunately, due to a 2012 restructure, Elissa Krajcer, whom I hired to head up our talent pillar, exited the business last Friday.”
Krajcer told Mumbrella: “2011 was the year that I made bad professional decisions for myself. I’m only human and I’ve made mistakes. 2012 is about looking after me and controlling my own destiny. ”
She said had launched her own recruitment firm, TTL Talent.
She added: “Agencies are no longer asking for full service digital talent. They want integrated, through the line staff.”
Krajcer and Jawien in happier times

I’m sure the snark will start soon but I just wanted to say that Elissa has always done well by me when looking for a new role.
Good luck to her in this exciting phase of her career.

I think that Moet photo might have to end up being Mumbo’s version of the famed Andrew Neil photo from Private Eye.

It does seem strange that she gets this much attention from Mumbrella… I wonder what I would have to do to get noticed like that…. then again, never mind!

I agree with AC 8:44pm she’s a small player with a small company and just doesn’t warrant the attention. Why keep on documenting her career? I just don’t get it.
I hate to say this, but this place is getting to me. I think I’m getting the Fear. On with the news, please.

haven’t we given her enough?
no one says boo about digital producers jumping roles and bumping up their responsibilities and pay packets every 6 months.
fair play she is going from one poor performance to another but surely there are better things to discuss?
come on Tim. Looks like you boys have something personal against this girl.
no more please.
