With over nine years of experience in technical recruitment, I've had the privilege of serving as the Lead Technical Recruiter at Block, the entrepreneurial product ecosystem comprised of Square, Cash App, Tidal, TBD, and Spiral. In this role, I was pivotal in sourcing, screening, and hiring top-tier talent across various roles and projects. My dedication to fostering diversity and building teams with diverse backgrounds and skill sets was unwavering, as I collaborated closely with talent and engineering leadership to achieve these goals. A motivated and results-driven professional, I take pride in my track record of delivering exceptional outcomes through production, data-driven recruiting, operational literacy, cross-functional partnerships, and candidate management. My commitment to innovation and inclusivity has been a driving force throughout my career, and I'm now on the lookout for opportunities where I can leverage my expertise to propel organizations to new heights. In 2022, my achievements include averaging 9.25 hires with an 86% offer-acceptance rate compared to the team average rate of 79% and consistently maintaining HM PSAT scores of 4.75+ out of 5. I'm proud to have been ranked 5th overall among recruiters for the Square Talent Team.
