Our Team

Patrick Collins is President of AllianceStaff. As a founding Partner, Patrick has driven the recruiting in the Healthcare and Revenue Cycle verticals, while continuing to innovate AllianceStaff’s business model and provide professional development to the team. He also proudly serves on the Board of Directors for the state association Recruiters of Wisconsin. When not hard at work, you will find Patrick enjoying a busy life with his wife and three daughters, coaching basketball and soccer, and closely rooting on Marquette basketball.

Nicole earned her Bachelor of Arts from UW-Oshkosh and began her staffing career shortly after graduation.  Quickly, Nicole found her passion rising to top producer year after year and from there in 2006 she became one of the founding Partners of AllianceStaff.  Today as Partner and VP of Sales and Marketing, she remains on the front lines of recruitment and client management, while simultaneously fostering the growth of AllianceStaff by identifying key business development opportunities and training team members to develop their own desks. Nicole partners with companies across a wide range of industries to understand their hiring needs and to help them build the best possible teams.  She has been recruiting in Milwaukee for over 15 years and has developed a unique insight into the hiring needs of the local market. She creates strong business relationships, many of which turn into long-term friendships, attesting to the loyalty she has with her clients and candidates. She listens.  She asks questions. And she understands that a great talent match never needs to be sold.  Nicole intuitively knows when she’s found the right match, and her long track record of successful placements proves her skill.

In her free time you can find Nicole on the soccer field watching her twin boys play in rain, sleet or snow (true soccer mom!!), staying on top of fitness trends, checking out a new restaurant with her girlfriends, traveling with her husband Tom or snuggling with her baby girl Mariah (Australian miniature Labradoodle.)

Hired in 2013, Mark Gawronski serves as the Director of Training and a Senior Employment Consultant for AllianceStaff. Mark started his career in recruiting immediately following his college career at UW-Whitewater where he graduated with his Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism Advertising and participated on their nationally ranked football team. He is a high energy leader with a skill to connect and build relationships. His ultimate goal is to develop more of a partnership, where he is an extension to the search, both on the company and candidate side. Mark is CPC certified by the National Association of Personnel Services and also participates on the Board of Directors for our state association, Recruiters of Wisconsin.

Mark is a family man and loves spending quality time with his wife and three kids. In his free time, Mark enjoys playing golf, following his favorite sports teams (The Green Bay Packers and the Whitewater Warhawks) and doing DIY projects. 

Steven is a graduate from UW-Oshkosh and has been with AllianceStaff since 2018, and in the recruiting industry since 2015 . He’s CPC certified and specializes in Supply Chain, Operations, & Logistics. He prides himself on building relationships with local companies and candidates. His primary goal is to help ensure future employees are excited and motivated in their new career opportunity, and that employers can feel confident and assured that their new hire will help move the company forward.

During Steven’s free time, you can find him with his family, probably at a Bucks or Brewers game, or watching/playing soccer. His golf game could use some work, and his wife says he should probably spend less time trying to fix it…    

Megan Scarcello is AllianceStaff’s Office Manager. She has been with the company for 8 years now and building relationships with candidates and clients through it all. She graduated from UW-Whitewater with Public Relations and Marketing. She has been able to put some of those skills to the test being responsible for engaging our social media audience. In her free time, you can find Megan hanging with her husband and chasing around her son, while rotating the shows Friends, Parks and Rec, Modern Family, and The Office. She loves pasta, sea salt + vinegar chips, and gummy bears.

Glenna Cose Brin has nearly 45 years of dedicated experience in the recruiting industry. She has mastered the specialties of Legal and Insurance within those years. As the original founder of AllianceStaff, in 2006, she has one goal in mind:  to serve the companies and candidates in Milwaukee to provide meaningful employment solutions that stick.  She has managed all aspects of AllianceStaff and has assisted in putting together a team of professionals that are devoted to the industry. Over the years, she’s given back to our recruiting community through NAPS (past Chairman), ROW (past Board Officer),and MMSHRM (past Committee Co-Chair).   “It’s an honor to serve the community and I look for ways to continue helping us all.”   In her days of leading to full retirement, Glenna has her hands full with grandchildren, traveling the world with her loving husband, or enjoying her wine club perks while reading a good book.
