About Laura Moore

Laura Moore

I am a renowned leader in the recruitment field, operating out of Houston, Texas. With a rich career spanning over 30 years, I have developed and implemented cutting-edge recruitment strategies for global corporations, many of which are key players on the Fortune 500 list. My area of expertise is pinpointing exceptional talent and critical skills within the oil and gas, pharmaceutical, and waste management industries.

I have recently started a new phase in my career as a business owner with Patrice and Associates Franchise. My ambition is to create a significant impact in the Hospitality Industry, capitalizing on my broad and verified experience, while maintaining strong ties in sectors where I have already built a notable reputation.

Under my leadership, my teams have consistently reached impressive hiring goals, with an average of 4,000 new hires each year, leading to a lifetime achievement of over 100,000 successful hires. Known for my direct involvement and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction, I have established myself as a trustworthy partner, proficient in finding candidates who not only meet the technical needs but also fit the culture of organizations, whether they operate locally, nationally, or internationally.

My passion goes beyond my professional accomplishments; I am deeply dedicated to making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I cherish the opportunity to help clients and candidates achieve ambitions that seemed beyond their reach.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Buffalo and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, which helped me achieve success in the professional world. I live in Katy, Texas, with my husband and our young son, and I am the proud mother of three adult children who are charting their own courses in life. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy cooking, reading, and immersing myself in new cultures through international travel, reflecting my comprehensive worldview and appreciation for diverse cultures.

Colleen Casey went above and beyond. 

Colleen Casey of Patrice & Associates helped me obtain a Payroll position.  She helped build my confidence and mentored me through the interview process.  In my past career searches I have worked with other career agencies and never experienced the service I received working with Colleen.  She became my mentor with building up my confidence and how to go about interviewing for the company I have accepted my current position.  I would recommend the company, but would definitely tell anyone to contact Colleen if they are looking for a new position in the future.

Thank you,

Dorinda Sperry
