  • For skilled job seekers who are in high demand, finding a job should be more than just matching abilities listed on a resume with a list of job requirements. On both sides of the equation are people that come together to create meaningful, fulfilling work that moves both the business and candidate in the right direction.
  • My job is to ask the right questions to help find a role that advances you towards your goals, and that makes you happy. Once we've identified a potential fit, I'll provide the right level of support each step of the way. After all, changing jobs is one of the top 3 most stressful life markers, but it doesn't have to be.
  • Also, helped to build the recruiting team by interviewing perspective candidates and training those that were hired as well as taking on the task of leading the team responsible for supporting recruiting efforts for the Microsoft account. After noticing a gap in the onboarding/training process, I took it upon myself to create a training program so that all new recruiters were being taught the same things company wide. This included content (for both trainer and trainee), white papers, videos, and timelines for completion of training.
