Recruiting on
your terms.

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Zina, and I can confidently say she is one of the most talented, dedicated, and entrepreneurial professionals I have encountered. As a recruiter, she possesses an exceptional ability to identify talent, build meaningful relationships, and connect organizations with the right people. But what truly sets her apart is her unwavering loyalty, integrity, and commitment to those she serves. She is faithful to a fault, consistently going above and beyond to ensure the success of her clients, candidates, and business partners. She is also a true solution expert. When faced with challenges, she doesn't focus on obstacles, she focuses on possibilities. Her ability to think creatively, navigate complex situations, and develop innovative solutions is remarkable. She has a rare combination of strategic vision and practical execution that allows her to deliver results time and time again. Beyond recruiting, she is an outstanding entrepreneur with a deep understanding of how to build, operate, and grow a successful business. Her leadership, business acumen, and passion for helping others succeed are evident in everything she does. If you are considering working with Zina or partnering with her company, I would do so without hesitation. She and her business would be an incredible asset to any organization fortunate enough to engage their services. Her professionalism, expertise, and commitment to excellence make her a trusted partner and a tremendous resource for any company looking to grow and succeed. I recommend her wholeheartedly and look forward to watching her continued success.

I highly recommend Pop-Up Talent as a trusted recruiting partner. Andrew, Lucy, and the team have been wonderful to work with over the years. They take the time to truly listen and understand exactly what we are looking for in a candidate, and their attention to detail has always been exceptional. What has consistently stood out to me is their communication, professionalism, and genuine partnership. They are thoughtful, responsive, and make the entire process feel easy and collaborative. Many of our strongest final candidates were sourced directly through Pop-Up Talent rather than through traditional job boards, which really speaks to the quality of their work and network. Beyond their expertise, they bring a personal touch that makes you feel like more than just a client. Working with Pop-Up Talent feels like working with a trusted friend, and I'm grateful for the partnership we've built over the years.

Andrew and his team at Popup Talent were referred to me by a marketing partner in early 2026. Their process for finding talent is fair, efficient, and netted my company, Foxxr, great results. Highly recommended if you are looking for an excellent recruiting partner.

I've used Zina and her team to help me find talent. When she said she didn't think it would even take a week for her to find someone that I've spent years looking for, I thought she was pulling my leg. Well, her team did it. I went from an empty seat, to interviews, to making an offer in under 30 days! I still can't believe it. Zina and her team are the only folks I will call for my hiring needs.

We've partnered with Zina at Pop Up Talent to recruit for several key roles within our organization, and the experience has been exceptional. As an employer, it's critical to enter the hiring process equipped with the right insights and resources to make thoughtful, strategic decisions, not just smart commitments, but the right ones. Zina brings a wealth of knowledge across multiple areas and ensures we're fully prepared before launching any search. She and her team remain actively involved throughout the entire process. It truly feels like they operate as an extension of our organization and the role we're hiring for, rather than an outside recruiter. If you're looking for a recruiting partner who prioritizes alignment, preparation, and long-term success over quick placements, Zina is someone I would confidently recommend.

I had the pleasure of working with Pop-Up Talent during our recent recruitment efforts, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. Their team was proactive, thorough, and consistently diligent in every stage of the process. They took the time to truly understand our needs, proving themselves to be excellent listeners who were always open to feedback. Thanks to their commitment and expertise, we successfully hired three exceptional candidates who will make a strong impact on our organization. Pop-Up Talent delivered high-quality talent quickly and seamlessly, making the entire recruitment process smooth and efficient. I highly recommend Pop-Up Talent to any organization looking for a recruitment partner that brings professionalism, insight, and outstanding results. Thank you Andrew and Rishel for an exceptional experience, we will reach out for our next hire!

As the Chief Revenue Officer of a smaller company, internal recruiting resources are limited. When I needed to hire several new salespeople, I reached out to Andrew at Pop-Up Talent for help. Not only did they find two salespeople for me, but also a VP International Sales. They did such a good job that their work here quickly expanded to include hiring a head of HR and other roles. I love their model, recruiting as needed at a reasonable cost, but with a single consistent recruiter that we can call on as required. Brooke has been stellar, and she has lots of fans here. Recommended.

Pop Up Talent has been a wonderful partner to work with. They have found high quality candidates for us, quickly. They are really good at what they do!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Zina and her team at Pop-Up Talent on a critical job search. It was an excellent experience at every level. They were pleasant and professional and provided outstanding candidates for us to consider, including the person we chose to join our team. Thank you, Zina!

For the past almost 3 years, I have worked with Zina and her team and would highly recommend them to assist with your talent search. Whether you need a partner to take on your recruiting needs because you don't have an in house recruiter, or to augment your in house team, Zina can help your organization. She takes recruiting seriously and is happy to share best practices if you're open to it.

Zina and the Pop-up Talent team are fantastic to work with. They take the time to understand your needs and execute on the plan. 5-Stars.

Zina and her team are amazing in helping find all levels of talent!!!! Zina listens to the requirements, the must haves and the preferred requirements and she finds the talent. She also asks questions about the culture and she finds great matches quickly! She is amazing and I have used Zina's services for several years. She is a great collaborator and a partner finding great talent!

I have always heard fantastic things about Zina and have enjoyed her podcasts immensely. I decided to schedule a consultation to learn more about her services and to explore whether she could share my information with companies seeking an executive leader that aligns with my qualifications and aspirations. Zina is a true gem. She went above and beyond her role as a recruiter, providing invaluable insights and constructive feedback that will help me market myself effectively, showcasing my accomplishments to secure my next role. As a former hiring manager who constantly sought out top talent, I highly recommend companies utilize her services. Zina is very knowledgeable and will go out of her way, no matter how busy she is, to make you a priority and ensure that your needs are met.

Andrew and Popup Talent were easy to work with and highly effective filling a role for us recently. I will use their services again and recommend them to you!

Andrew Adelman and his company, Popup Talent, have been a critical resource for us for the past two years. Their recruiting model just simply works better. They have assisted us with filling critical roles in record time at a nominal cost. I highly recommend them!

Zina, Bob and the team were phenomenal to work with and took a lot of time to ensure they understood our needs and our business as we recruited to grow our team. Our business experienced explosive growth after being acquired by private equity and we would've struggled to succeed in that environment without their partnership.

We worked with Zina and her team at Popup Talent when it came to hard to fill positions especially with a real estate industry experience. The expertise that they brought to the table provided good candidates for us even during the pandemic where everyone was competing for talents. They are flexible and able to understand our needs. Thank you for your assistance.

Looking for a different approach to recruiting? I highly recommend giving Andrew and Pop-Up Talent a call. We will never use another recruiting firm again. Pop-Up Talent is not like other recruiting firms and has a much more direct and simple approach to finding talent and helping fill positions. I only wished we would have known about Pop-Up Talent earlier.

Zina and her amazing team have been really helpful in recruiting talent. We have three sides of the house here, and regardless of the position, they step right in and get started. We have had many new hires from candidates Zina and her team have provided. In an extremely hard market, its nice to have the extra hands on deck to help! Communication is quick and solid.

Andrew and his team do an amazing job of integrating with your existing recruiting process and understanding your business needs. All of the people we've hired from Popup Talent have been great additions to our team.

Andrew and his team at Pop-Up Talent were a great help to our one-person HR Department. Our dedicated recruiter took the time to get to know our company's needs and processes and brought highly qualified candidates to us for a fraction of the cost than if we had used a traditional recruiter with a 22-27% finder's fee. In addition, candidates seem to respond more favorably to cold calls if they come from a representative of the company rather than a recruiter.

Zina assisted Sapphire with finding new writing talent. Historically, our company struggled to find strong writers that knew or would learn the niche fields we work in. If we did job listings, we'd get maybe 5 resumes, with 0-1 ideal candidates. However, Zina and Popup delivered 20+ resumes with strong qualifications. Since good talent is worth its weight in gold, I am optimistic that this search will be proven fruitful and Zina's services will have been worth every penny.

The Popup Talent team was very efficient, professional, and demonstrated their extensive experience during a couple of brief searches I did with them. They helped me think through some of our search strategy as well. A great value. I'd be glad to work with them again.

It is my pleasure to recommend Pop Up Talent. I have been working with Pop Up Talent for about two years. The service they have provided has been excellent. Last year we hired over 20 staff that they referred. Zina is wonderful to work with. She is responsive and understands our business needs. We could not be more pleased with our recruiter Kim. She does an impressive job of screening candidates and only sending us those that meet our requirements. We also appreciate the pricing structure and flexibility they provide. When we have multiple staffing needs we can easily increase the number of hours they work. I highly recommend Pop Up Talent.

Working with Andrew and Popup Talent has been a very positive experience. After a short time, we already have qualified candidates for an executive role. Andrew has also been accessible when needed to discuss anything that came up during the process; we would be on a Zoom call that same day, or the next. Highly recommend, and would definitely use their services again in the future.

I was referred to Andrew and his team at Pop Up from another business owner that had used them in the past. Their agreement structure is very different than most recruiters I have seen and a much better fit for most companies. Within one week we had multiple strong candidates and by the end of week 2 we had found our hire, thanks to our awesome recruiter, Kali. Hiring such an in demand position (Lead Developer) would be an absolute nightmare for our small company. Pop Up made it a breeze. Having a delightful hiring process is not something I thought could be done until I worked with this company, highly highly recommend!

We worked with Zina and the Pop-Up talent team on two separate businesses for outsourced talent acquisition services. Zina and her team were very professional and detailed in trying to find resources that aligned with our job profiles. The team was good enough that I reached out a second time for another engagement! I recommend any business that is in need of talent acquisition solutions to reach out to Zina and her team.

Andrew and Pop-Up Talent have been great partners in helping us find amazing individuals to grow our team. Responsive, thoughtful, and effective. Highly recommend.

We engaged the services of Pop-Up Talent to help us find a couple of experienced professionals, and they did an excellent job. They presented multiple qualified candidates very quickly, and at a very reasonable fee. I'll use them again!

Zina and her recruiting team are a pleasure to work with. Even though I only work with her for a short period of time, she is, without doubt, very experienced and knowledgeable within the biotechnology and engineering industry. She is friendly and extremely helpful. She helped me throughout the entire job searching process and kept me updated every part of the way without me having to chase her. Zina is professional and ensured all my questions were answered as well as giving me any additional information required to be successful during this journey. I had immediate success with her help and received an offer for the position I was seeking, within a few short weeks! I would recommend Zina to anyone in need of a new job or wants to seek for other alternatives for career movement.

Zina makes the process of finding and hiring someone so easy. She's so pleasant to work with and produces good results quickly! I highly recommend working with her if you're looking to fill a position.

We have used Zina for a number of different positions ranging from technicians to appointment setters. This has been a very cost-effective way for us to fill our slots. She provides high-quality personnel and helps with job descriptions, etc. We plan to continue to utilize Zina's services and we recommend that you do this as well!

I engaged Pop-Up Talent to help us build out our organization. We are really pleased. Andrew and his team have this innate ability to see and source talent quickly. Focused, decisive and very efficient. Highly recommended.

Love Pop-Up Talent's business model, it has been a great fit for our recruiting needs. Andrew and his team have successfully filled multiple positions and pulled in highly qualified candidates we likely would not have seen doing it on our own.

We recently engaged Andrew's Pop-Up Talent team to do a senior technology search. Pop-Up Talent is an exciting new recruiting model and we were able to land a top-notch director-level candidate for less than $5,000. They presented a half-dozen well qualified candidates quickly and then supported us throughout the search process. Highly recommend Andrew and team and expect to use them again!

We recently worked with Andrew and his team at CoreTech, with their Pop-Up Talent model. It was incredible how quickly they found niche candidates for us within our location, salary, and experience parameters, and they continually kept in touch with us to ensure we were getting what we needed! Their processes are smooth and simple. Highly recommend Andrew and the CoreTech team!

I've had the pleasure of partnering with Andrew and the Pop-Up Talent / CoreTechs team to grow organizations with the right talent. With multiple openings, and the typical startup pressure to hire in a tight market, Andrew and the team were able to help instantly. Offering great flexibility, speed of sourcing and all-encompassing service, they made growing the organization much easier!

Andrew and his Pop-Up Talent / CoreTechs team are excellent recruiters. I worked with his team at several of my companies and found them to be efficient, cost-effective and on target. Andrew has a fantastic grasp of recruiters and is able to find talent very effectively.

Andrew and his Pop-Up Talent / CoreTechs team does a great job for us to find top talent. They are very good at understanding the open requisition and sourcing and recruiting people that fit our organization. That, along with the cost efficiencies and flexibility makes this a great service!

I was recently laid off from the oil field. With the help of Zina redoing my resume and sending it out to company's. Zina was able to help me get a stable and very promising career. I would recommend anyone to work with Zina.

I have recommended Zina and her team once before, but feel the need to recommend her once again. I have worked with Zina Brown and her team as my go to firm for professional, technical, and scientific recruitment needs throughout North America, especially for the most difficult search. Given this tight market, Zina and her team continue to deliver amazing candidates.

I have been fortunate to work with Zina for over 3 years. She has always delivered excellent results. She has found extremely hard to find senior engineering talent - I would say that is her speciality. I have always had excellent resumes from her. I will always call her first when I have a hiring need for engineering specialists.

Zina has been a savior for me several times during crucial forks in the road of my career. I've known and worked with her for well over 15 years. She's one of the hardest working individuals I know and I trust her implicitly to find the right match between job seeker and client.

Zina was our go to recruiter. She was able to hone in on the requirements and skills we needed in the positions. She delivered highly qualified candidates who were pre-qualified. The hiring cycle was always shortened when Zina was involved with delivering candidates. She knows her field and delivers. We could not have had a more accomplished recruiter.

Zina has one of the highest energy levels I have ever come across. She was relentless in finding excellent talent that usually hit the mark. Zina took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and was able to come up with multiple candidates for the job we required. Great communicator and very personable. Was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Zina went above and beyond her responsibilities as a recruiter. She is informative, hard-working, and dedicated to her client's needs. Zina quickly reacted to our need and presented us with several highly qualified candidates in a most expeditious manner.

I worked with Zina a couple of years ago when she was a nursing recruiter, she never gave up on finding the right position for me. Though I haven't spoke with her in years I can't forget the how reliable and diligent she was. Even as I sat in the parking lot at my new job she continued to call and offer to help me find something if it turned out that I had chose the wrong position. My personal experience, she gives it 100% commitment..

I have worked with Zina on many occasions to fill multiple positions within my engineering group and it has always been a very positive experience. Zina's ability to deeply understand the technical requirements and her intuitive grasp of what the company is looking for is what sets her apart. Her emphasis on quality over quantity is evident in the way she hand-picks the candidates before presenting them and I would greatly recommend her for any organization's recruitment needs.

I had the pleasure of working with Zina while she was with Medliant. The company that I worked for utilized Medlant for placing nurses within our facilities. From day one of meeting Zina, she has always been up front, honest and highly reliable. If there is an issue, Zina responds immediately and would brainstorm and work with me in order to resolve the issue as quickly and efficiently as possible. Zina is very personable and really takes the time to build relationships and get to know those she works with. I would not hesitate to recommend Zina, she is always professional and is truly wonderful to work with.

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Zina Brown. I have known Zina personally and professionally for a number of years. In March 2002, I hired Zina in the position of Business Development Manager to facilitate the expansion of our IT staffing division. Based on her success in the IT sector, she was reassigned to our Health Care staffing division as Director of Health Care Services. Based on her exceptional ability as a team player, leader and her people skills the division went from a start- up to over $4mm in revenue within 18 months. Zina continued working with us on a consultant bases and presently has contracts in place that exceed $56mm. I can confidently recommend her for any executive level position or career that she may now seek to pursue

Zina is a great team player and hard worker. I have come to look to her for the results that I need. She has a good eye for talent and will alway bring good people to the table. If you are looking for long term people or need short term project talent Zina will fill the roles. She is truly a great lady to work with or for.

I used Zina's services to land a great job at my current company. Working with the budget constraints of my current company and the salary I was looking for, created significant challenges to make this placement happen. However, due to Zina's creativity and persistence and the willingness of her and Perito Eleven to bridge the gap between what my comapny was offering and what I was looking for, Zina was able to make things happen and get me placed. Having worked with other recruiters in the past, none of them would have been able to get this done and none of them would have bent over backwards to accomplish this the way Zina had. Zina was always available, and kept on top of the entire interview and hiring process. She is extremely personable, and great to work with. She is also very honest and follows through on what she says she is going to do. I highly recommend Zina for individuals looking to get placed as well as company's who require her recruiting services. If I ever have to find another job again, or require placement services for the company I work for, I would definitely contact Zina again.

I relied on Zina to help source difficult to find engineers for Penske. She had the uncanny ability to size up our needs and direct qualified candidates to us quickly. Zina's listening skills are outstanding and her follow up is professional and reliable. I've enjoyed partnering with her to solve staffing problems and considered her an extension of our business.

Zina is very detailed oriented, direct and honest. She is an excellent communicator and reliable.

In 2005 I was fortunate to have Zina represent me when I was attempting to secure new employment. Her efforts were successful and handled in a competent and professional manner. One of Zina's strengths that impressed me was her commitment to placing me. She made sure that every "hiccup" was smoothed out and even offered to drive from Las Vegas to LA where my car had broken down to assure I was able to get to interview. I will always be grateful for her efforts.

Zina achieved the results that I needed filling 2 permanent, professional level Engineering positions; and she was an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way. In one case where a hired candidate did not work out for me, Zina and her team stood 100% behind their guarantee and worked very hard to find a replacement in a very short time.

Zina and I worked together at BAL Associates. At first, she was a very Sr. Account Executive who I supported. A short while later she was promoted to General Manager. The entire time that I worked with Zina, I thoroughly enjoyed working for her. Her dedication in gathering qualified requirements along with her tenacious ability to get interview feedback and close deals makes her an outstanding Manager to work with. By far, she is one of the best in the business. I would highly recommend her!!
