Description

Enriching the lives of others through recruiting is Anne McDonald’s passion, and the driving force behind her successful career and business. An avid traveler visiting over 23 countries, Anne spent her college summers exploring the globe, from Montana to Germany to New Zealand to Nepal, before beginning her professional career. After graduating from the University of Puget Sound with a Bachelor of Arts in Western American History, Anne continued to pursue her interest in new adventures and moved to Anchorage, Alaska. While in Anchorage, Anne worked for Princess Cruises and Tours for five years in various roles including Port Operations Manager and Recruiter. Returning to her native Oregon, Anne stayed in the field of hospitality working for Sunriver Resort as their Executive Destination Manager and later for Seventh Mountain Resort, most recently as their Director of Conference Services. Recruiting soon called her back, and with her innate ability to find the right match between candidates and clients, Anne spent the next year and a half perfecting her skills at Robert, William, James and Associates, where she ranked as the second-highest producing recruiter in the country in Q2 of 2002. Anne continued her career in recruiting at Rebound Physical Therapy where she worked as their Recruiter and Human Resource Manager. In just one year, Anne successfully placed over 50 employees at various clinics and offices throughout Central Oregon. Finding great success in recruiting alone, Anne opened her own firm in 2007. Since then, the McDonald Group has placed over 50 candidates, and has grown to include two additional recruiters and one office manager. Anne’s commitment to the community goes beyond her job as a recruiter and a Central Oregon business owner; Anne is on the Board of Directors for Economic Development for Central Oregon ( EDCO ), a member of the events committee for Opportunity Knocks, a contributor to Soles4Souls , and a co-founder of Empty Bowls . Anne enjoys living in Bend with her family and their Bernese Mountain Dog, Macee. When she’s not at the office or traveling the world, you can find Anne running, skiing, hiking, or rafting. Spencer Newell discovered Bend, OR during summer training with his college cross country ski team. After graduating from St. Lawrence University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Spencer took his understanding of the human psyche and began a successful career in sales. Spencer started at Seventh Mountain Resort, working in banquets and group sales, which is where he and Anne first worked together. After two and half years, he was recruited to Eagle Crest Resort to be the Director of Group Sales. Spencer continued to hone his sales skills and shifted his focus into real estate, working for Brasada Ranch. His east coast roots pulled him back for a brief while but Spencer soon found himself back in Central Oregon, where he reconnected with Anne, who had been successfully running the McDonald Group for just over a year. The timing was perfect as Anne was just looking to expand and brought Spencer on as a recruiter.
