YMA Presents...A Workshop Speaker!

Kirsti Stubbs
Program Manager, Staffing Canada
Starbucks Coffee Canada
Kirsti has worked in retail since she was 14 years old; she progressed from helping out in a family business, to denim specialist at the GAP, smiley and energetic barista with Starbucks and finally to a retail manager with a medium sized Canadian fashion retailer. In 2006 she left store level operations and returned to school fulltime in Vancouver at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT).  It was here she discovered her passion for marketing and was introduced to social media, recruitment and employment branding. Kirsti returned to Starbucks in 2008, influencing and streamlining the sourcing function in Canada through their retail and non retail lines of business. She has led the implementation of their Candidate Relationship Management (CRM) software, a new employment brand launch and updated career website in Canada.  Her knowledge and creativity allow her to push the boundaries of traditional recruitment. Kirsti has spoken previously at Ryerson University’s Retail Week and the Retail Council of Canada HR Conference on topics including personal branding and social recruiting.
