       <\/h2>\n          \n            Founders Brent Russell and Christian Sticklen first met in 2006.\n            Through a growing friendship and shared values, they built their\n            reputations across energy, oil and gas, mining, infrastructure and\n            utilities recruitment.\n          \n          \n            As their experience grew, so did their frustration with an industry\n            that could become too transactional: candidates treated like\n            products, clients treated like transactions, quick sales valued\n            over long relationships.\n          \n          \n            In 2012, they launched Resourceful Recruitment from an office no\n            bigger than a store room. The idea was simple: know the market,\n            care about the people and do the work properly.\n          \n          \n            They also wanted to build a workplace worth staying in, where\n            people could take ownership of their work, enjoy the people around\n            them and build careers around full lives.\n          \n    <\/section>\n    <!-- =====================================================\n         THE OFFICE GOT BIGGER\n         ===================================================== -->\n    <section>\n        <h2>\n          The office got bigger.
