Employee of the Month - January 2015: Hilary Hott

The Philly Temps Employee of the Month for January 2015 is Hilary Hott

Professionalism, diligence, versatility, punctuality and attitude are just some of the adjectives we keep in mind when choosing our employee of the month, and they just happen to be words that describe Hilary Hott to a tee.

Hilary comes to Philly Temps from a past of medicine and music and has been temping as she decides which road to take next. In the short time that Hilary has been with us, she has proven to be an asset to our clients and staff.

We recently took a few moments to get to know her a little better.

HH: I especially enjoyed an assignment with a firm that facilitated matching grants from philanthropic organizations to nonprofits. It was fascinating to see the processes behind this important work.
