All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

–Walt Disney

Lisa Casteran has dedicated her career to connecting talented professionals with roles that perfectly complement their skills and ambitions. With a bachelor’s degree in Communications and a minor in Organizational Development from Ball State University, Lisa has accumulated nearly 20 years of recruiting experience, including time in Learning & Development Talent Solutions Consulting. She has worked with both large national recruiting firms and start-ups, gaining invaluable insights from peers, leaders, clients, and candidates along the way.

Lisa’s professional philosophy is centered on building strategic, long-term talent partnerships. As a relationship builder, she is committed to developing trust, respect, and credibility by truly understanding her clients’ immediate and long-term hiring needs. This approach allows ELTA Group to be seen as a recruiting partner rather than just a recruiter, ensuring lasting and meaningful connections.

In her role, Lisa has seen the impact of recent events on the construction industry, noting significant shifts in the workforce. With many experienced workers retiring and fewer young professionals entering the field, companies must adapt by offering training, career advancement opportunities, and engaging work cultures to attract top talent. Lisa believes that the deep relationships ELTA Group builds with clients and candidates set them apart in this competitive landscape.

Lisa’s personal touch involves providing clients with comprehensive market intelligence, current hiring trends, and onboarding advice, all aimed at improving employee retention. Post-placement, she maintains close contact with both clients and candidates, offering feedback and addressing any issues proactively to ensure a successful fit.

When working with new clients, Lisa prefers to meet in person, tour their offices, and understand their work culture. She asks detailed questions to uncover their hiring challenges and educates them on ELTA Group’s process, emphasizing the importance of immediate feedback and effective communication. This hands-on, consultative approach helps clients achieve success with a white-glove service.

Wendy and the team at ELTA are the best in the business! 50% of our current construction staff are people that Wendy recruited for me. She spends enormous amounts of time making sure they are qualified and that they would be a great employee for Cityscape Residential. I am proud to know Wendy and I wouldn't use any other recruiter right now to staff our construction company.
