I worked with Grant and Shelbi and they were the best! I was working with them slowly at first but as soon as I quit my job, I let them know I needed something ASAP. Not only did they find me somewhere quickly, it was a position that I could grow at and a company I could stay with for a while. It was so fast and seamless!
Today was my second day and so far, it’s awesome! Thank you Grant and Shelby for everything and helping me during this transition in life 🙂

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Shelbi at High Country during my most recent job search, and without a doubt, she is the best external/agency recruiter I’ve ever worked with—and I’ve worked with a lot! From the very first conversation, it was clear that Shelbi is in a league of her own. She’s incredibly personable, genuinely authentic, and has a way of making the entire process feel effortless and stress-free.
What truly sets Shelbi apart is her honesty, transparency, and the deep respect she has for her candidates. She doesn’t just place people in jobs—she builds relationships, earns trust, and ensures the right fit for both candidates and clients. It’s obvious that she loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction.
Shelbi is not just an amazing recruiter—she’s an amazing person. I’m so grateful to have worked with her, and even more grateful to know her! If you have the chance to partner with her, consider yourself lucky.

My first interaction with High Country came through a recommendation from a friend who had previously had a great experience with them, Shelby in particular. Although I excepted a position with another organization, I was so impressed with Shelby’s care, professionalism and follow up. Even after being with this new job, Shelby would periodically call just to see how I was doing. I appreciate her integrity, follow up and care. I highly recommend this organization if you are seeking assistance in getting a new job or just have questions. Top Notch!
