As an experienced AIRS & BI Certified recruitment specialist, I use strategies and techniques to execute recruiting plans to fill positions. I find candidates through the use of innovative search methods that include cold-calling, networking, deep internet sourcing and mining, along with the use of multiple job boards. My certain skillsets help me find and fill roles: • Communication- since I am an active Toastmaster Club member, my communication helps me connect effectively and make a connection with clients and candidates. • Networking- making connections with talent acquisition professionals in person and on social media keeps me updated with the market trends that helps me to find the right fit. • Mentoring and Advising- providing advice and guidance to clients through market analysis and job board market research. • Certifications- I have gained knowledge of recruitment techniques and built sourcing strategies to find candidates on the internet. Certifications like Professional Recruiter Certification (PRC), Certified Internet Recruiter (CIR), Certified Diversity and Inclusion Recruiter – (CDR), Certified Social Sourcing Recruiter (CSSR) have given me a range of tools and techniques and they made me a better recruiter. I am also certified in taking Behavioural Interviews which gives me a lot of information about a candidate.

I have worked with multiple organizations/clients to cater high volume hiring needs.
