What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Sr. Talent Acquisition Manager with 10 years of experience managing full-cycle recruiting across high-volume manufacturing, corporate, healthcare, technical, and non-technical roles. I partner closely with hiring leaders to develop recruiting strategies that support business goals.
In my current role at Greenheck Group, I lead recruiting for two manufacturing campuses supporting approximately 1,200 employees. I handle sourcing, screening, interviewing, background checks, and offer execution, while specializing in Manufacturing, Healthcare, Leadership, HR, Marketing, IT, Accounting, Executive, and Hospitality talent acquisition.
I build strong pipelines through community partnerships, local schools, job fairs, and open interview events, while enhancing employer brand and candidate experience through consistent communication and engagement. I also report recruiting metrics to drive continuous improvement and ensure my process stays aligned with compliance requirements.
I bring deep expertise in Affirmative Action Plans and Equal Employment Opportunity compliance, including HIPAA requirements. I’m also highly proficient with ATS platforms and modern sourcing tools, including maintaining job postings and candidate workflows with data accuracy and compliance.
