Why Honest?
Wonder how we chose our name? It was for two reasons:
- For our clients, it represents transparency — about what we can and cannot do and how hard we will work for you.
- For our participants — it reflects the fact that our clients need and value your honest opinions.
What’s the Honest Difference?
We consider ourselves as more than a recruiting firm. We’re a dedicated, hard-working team that believes in building strong and long-lasting relationships. We’re your partners in success, every step of the way.
Meet the Founders
Corey and Jamie Oswald, a married couple with two children, started Honest Recruiting to meld their strengths and build something for their family. They work tirelessly to operate a company they’re proud of, based on a foundation of honesty and integrity.
Jamie Oswald — Co-Owner
Jamie joined Honest Recruiting in 2018, bringing with her over two decades of experience in the apparel and accessories industry. Her background encompasses various roles spanning project management, buying, production, merchandising, and sales.
At Honest Recruiting, Jamie embodies the essence of organization, ensuring seamless project management and client satisfaction. Her adeptness at managing projects ensures that operations run efficiently for both clients and participants alike.
Outside of work, Jamie enjoys cooking, listening to podcasts, traveling, cheering on the Padres, spending long days at the beach and watching her two sons play baseball. Never thought I'd be such a baseball fan!
Corey Oswald — Co-Owner
Prior to founding Honest Recruiting, Corey owned and managed a popular surfing and skateboarding lesson business in Los Angeles for 15 years. When he and his family had the chance to move to San Diego — a long-time dream — he sold that business, headed south, and started a new life.
Corey has the work ethic and dedication needed to create and sustain a company, but also brings the personality. His outgoing manner and friendly voice put clients and participants at ease.
In his free time, Corey loves to surf, standup paddle, skateboard, mountain bike, build furniture, paint, and garden; he basically does it all. He also spends a large part of his free time coach his sons soccer and baseball teams. Everyone loves Coach Corey!
