Lauren Burington — Recruiter

I love what I do. I connect with people who are passionate about IT and beyond. Sharing what I know and helping people build careers is a great way to make a living (IMO). My Spiel I enjoy getting to know people and digging deeper to see potential. I listen as much as I talk – It’s a 2-way street. Even the best opportunities can be miserable if they don’t bring fulfillment. Am I right?! I’m not a fan of the title “recruiter.” It screams sales to me and that’s not what I do. I match great candidates with opportunities. I don’t sell candidates to take a position they’ll hate or leave out details to “sell” a role. Have you ever told a recruiter that work/life balance was essential and then found yourself in a position that expects a 60 hour + work week? Or that you would support X in a role and in reality, you ended up supporting A-Z? Those are what we call, “great learning experiences.” It’s how most people figure out what they want; by discovering what they don’t want. Looking for a job? I’ve been there. No, seriously – I’ve been unemployed, ghosted, rejected and even done the unspeakable – I let the search process take my identity and self-worth. Don’t do that. Horror stories from job hunting are what drive me to do more. I strive to make the candidate experience better. I help, I provide feedback and deliver the news – good and bad. Let’s do this! Tell me about yourself. How can I help? Let’s Connect! I want to connect with recruiters too! Best practices, words of wisdom, encouragement, job opportunities – I want all of this in my feed and on my radar. Questions about your career? Questions about what I do? Send me an invite; Let’s talk about it!
