History
CareerEncore was founded in 2006 by Courtney Homer after a decade of acquiring experience in the technology industry. Courtney holds an MBA from MIT and was a founding member of one of Boston's leading search firm’s technology division. During her tenure there, she grew the division’s revenue significantly, personally generating and closing an average of 80 searches per year - about 30% more business than her peers.
Having built a wealth of connections in Boston's tech industry, Courtney decided to take this experience out on her own, in her family’s entrepreneurial tradition. She felt drawn to recruiting because she is passionate not only about business, but about people and their potential. She understands the value employees contribute to the success of a company.
Today the growing success of CareerEncore itself reflects this value.

How we operate
CareerEncore invests time in getting to know each company and understanding its culture and staffing needs. Not interested in transactional business, we strive to form strong, long-term partnerships with leading Boston-area technology companies. We also work hard to uncover each candidate’s career passion, motivation, and detailed aspects of his or her skill set.
Employers and candidates work directly with Courtney Homer, saving valuable time that is typically lost in the communication overhead of large recruiting firms.
CareerEncore enjoys searching for employees for tech companies of all sizes and staffing needs. Employing talented, dedicated, and experienced research staff, we exploit sophisticated research tools, such as our proprietary database developed from multiple personnel sources. CareerEncore also profits from access to the exclusive MIT Alumni Job-Posting Site and Alumni Directory.
