29 Apr 2024 501Der Women 2024: Britni Rush

A passion for seeing people and organizations succeed drives Britni Rush to do what she can to make a difference not only in the workplace but also in the lives of others. That passion led her into the human resources field, which ultimately resulted in executive recruiting. “What I find most fulfilling is that I get to help people realize their dreams. I get to encourage them and walk alongside them,” she said.

Rush is the owner and managing partner of TalentRush Executive Search, an executive recruiting company that helps businesses find the right professional candidate. 

Prior to launching her company, Rush led HR teams for three Arkansas higher education institutions and an Arkansas nonprofit. She served as the president of the Arkansas chapter of the College and University Professional Association for HR (CUPA-HR) and as a board member-at-large for the CUPA-HR Southern Region as liaison to both the Arkansas and Oklahoma chapters. 

Rush has also served on several local boards, including Conway Young Professionals, Deliver Hope, Arkansas Community Foundation and Conway Regional Physician Hospital Organization.

Rush earned a Master of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix, a Bachelor of Leadership and Ministry from Central Baptist College and a Bachelor of Speech Communication from Arkansas State University. In addition, she has earned the designation of Certified Professional from the Society of HR Management.

To young professional women today, Rush would share the most valuable lesson she has learned over the years. “No person, no boss and no job determine my worth. Ever, no matter what. I’ve learned to stick to my values and convictions,” she said.

While she is an accomplished businesswoman, she is most proud of her children, and she enjoys spending time outdoors with them. She loves living in the 501 because it has access to many beautiful places to fish and hike.
