Talent acquisition specialist and recruiter focused on equitable, full-cycle hiring.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Talent Acquisition Specialist and Recruiter who partners with hiring managers to proactively identify and solve complex recruiting challenges across roles from Associate to C-suite. I’ve built and executed full-cycle sourcing and hiring systems, from pipeline creation to candidate management, representing my organizations at recruitment events like college job fairs.
Across my roles, I’ve improved hiring operations by creating new processes (including interview debrief evaluation forms) and helping implement a new ATS. I’ve also owned high-volume requisition loads, interviewed weekly, and exceeded quarterly hiring quotas by developing strong industry relationships and running equitable, inclusive, and accessible hiring practices.
