Home of the 5 Year Placement Warranty - Professional Nationwide Executive Staffing Agency - Contract and Direct Hire
For Women’s History Month, Frontline Source Group is highlighting the work of an incredible member of our team, Shelly Hubble . Shelly has been with Frontline since the beginning and has been a vital member of the company’s growth and success.
Tell us the story of your career up to this point.
I actually started my career at Frontline. I applied to a position with one of our clients, and then Bill brought me in to interview, but I was definitely underqualified for the role!
So, he told me about Frontline. I didn't even know what a staffing firm was, but he ended up selling me on being a recruiter. I really loved working with clients, so I really took more of that side of the business on as I progressed in my career.?
I am now the vice president of operations. I handle a lot on the client side, and our management team has really grown over the years.?
I was maybe the fourth person hired, so I really have been here since the beginning!
Who are your role models or people who have inspired you in your career?
First and foremost, my mother. She's a very energetic, strong, business-minded person. She's always owned her own company which I found to be really inspiring.?
Even though I never really saw myself doing that, I feel like her influence inspired me to be a businesswoman.
What advice do you have for women who are beginning their careers?
I think you have to be willing to take a risk and believe in yourself. A piece of advice I once heard was that you should almost be underqualified for the position that you take. That's how you grow!

Bill Kasko and Mike Cook were both hired by Ronnie Horton when they were in high school. Their careers took very different paths before merging once again. Bill founded?Frontline Source Group , one of the fastest-growing executive search placement firms in the nation. Mike followed Ronnie’s lead and stayed at Brookshire’s for 32 years before joining Bill at Frontline as the Executive Grocery Retail Recruiter. The men reminisced over the impact that Ronnie had on their lives, with Bill recognizing that one of the keys to his success was following the example that Ronnie had set for him. “I would sometimes wonder what I was doing right other companies weren’t, and then I realized I was just following Mr. Horton’s lead,” Kasko said.
The two men agreed to set up a scholarship to honor Ronnie Horton’s legacy and carry on his work of helping people become the best that they can be. “We were able to secure a scholarship to help in sending two individuals to college in his name,” said Kasko. “Now we can announce the Ronnie Horton Legacy Scholarship to the world.”?
