golbou’s H.R. career began in the specialty of executive search in the private sector where she
helped source and vet candidates for executive positions in biopharmaceutical firms. During her
ten (10) year tenure as a Human Resources leader in the public sector, golbou gained specialized
knowledge of public sector recruitments in merit/civil service agencies ranging from entry level
to department head/executive level recruitments. Her first assignment was as a Recruitment
Analyst in a civil service agency where she was responsible for exam development, proctoring
written and oral examinations, oral interview question development and scoring, final selection
processes, as well as all other steps in public sector recruitment processes. In her third year, as a
public servant, she was promoted to the Recruitment & Classification Manager position at Coun-
ty of Sonoma where she oversaw many process efficiencies and began performing department
head/executive recruitments in house for the first time in the County’s then recent history. She
oversaw and was heavily involved in the creation of the County’s new Independent Office of Law
Enforcement Review and Oversight (“IOLERO”) department and successfully oversaw the selection
of the County’s first IOLERO Director, a highly specialized and challenging recruitment process.
She served as Human Resources Deputy Director and oversaw the Recruitment unit as part of her
area of responsibilities, during which time marketing efforts were restructured to better attract
applicants in a tight labor market. As a city Human Resources Director, golbou helped her staff
create new positions and conduct recruitments with an eye to creative outreach and selection
processes while still adhering to merit principles.
She earned her B.A. degree in Psychology with a minor in French at University of California,
Berkeley; her MBA degree with an emphasis in Human Resources Management from Sonoma
State University; and holds SHPR, SHRM-SCP, and IPMA-SCP professional certifications. Ms. ghas-
semieh serves as an instructor for Sonoma State University’s Human Resources Certification
course and served for three (3) years as a Board member for PASCO-HR, a Sonoma County Profes-
sional Human Resources Association.
golbou joined Koff & Associates, in January, 2019, and will work closely with Georg, Richard and
the rest of the K&A recruitment team to provide recruitment support at all levels.
