Trish truly cares about client, candidate, and employee satisfaction, as well as the well-being of her staffing team. She believes a successful business starts with happy employees – and it shows! Trish has been recruiting and training employees for almost 20 years, mostly in the higher education arena, following her B.S. in Psychology and Sociology and her M.Ed. in Education.
Trish’s favorite pastime is her work and caring for her clients, employees, and business.

Trish enjoys the outdoors and enjoying a glass of wine on her flower-filled patio.
Melanie Ecker
Director of Client Relations
Melanie, a Colorado native and graduate from Colorado State University with a degree in Social Work, is not only a staffing expert, but she is also Snelling’s little ray of sunshine. Her smile is so contagious even our clients can feel it through the phone. Her multi-faceted staffing approach not only recruits candidates with exceptional qualifications, but also those who can assimilate into a company’s culture effortlessly. When not at work, you can find Melanie spending time with her family… and probably still trying to work! Melanie loves being outside with her two sons and husband, Eric, playing golf, hiking, skiing and her newest hobby, fly fishing.
Her past positions working in various educational settings have given her great insight on people and empowering them to reach their fullest potential. She says she has found her perfect job… “career matchmaking!”
