Founder, Owner, Talent Delivery

 
 
“

Deatra was fantastic to work with - she did a great job understanding not just "on paper" qualifications but culture and personality and not rushing a fit that wasn't right.

– Vice President - Controller

Deatra is a true professional. Deatra quickly understands the needs of her clients, and manages her network in a efficient and effective manner. My experiences working with Deatra have been positive, and produced successful results. I highly recommend Deatra and the Rainmaker Resources Team.

– CEO

We had 2 open C-level positions at our Company and we brought in Deatra/Rainmaker to help us fill them. The first position was filled within a week. For the 2nd position, she presented many very qualified candidates even though we went with someone we had found separately. She is fast, on-point and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Deatra and Rainmaker.

– Human Resources

Deatra is the only person that I recommend to my friends or colleagues interested in a career change. She is highly professional, has the utmost integrity and runs her business the right way, which truly sets her apart.

– Auditor

I have had the pleasure of working with Deatra both when I was looking for a new role as well as using Rainmaker to assist in our search for a Sales Analyst. Every interaction I have had with her has been positive. She impressed me with her understanding of what I was looking for, and brought forward opportunities and candidates that were well thought through and a good fit for me and my organisation. Her communication skills and speed of response are excellent, and these skills are also embodied in the other members of her team that I worked with. I have no hesitation in recommending both Deatra and Rainmaker
