What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to bring my recruiting leadership and a track record of team and process results to an in-house Talent Acquisition role.

At Vaco by Highspring, I own full-cycle recruiting across technology, digital, marketing, creative, and operations. I built custom AI agents in Microsoft Copilot for resume-to-role matching, outreach, and interview question generation, and achieved a two-week average time-to-fill on recent searches.

At Robert Half, I built and led the Marketing, Creative & Digital recruiting team and created playbooks, rubrics, scorecards, and hiring manager onboarding programs. The NJ Perm practice delivered 33.97% year-over-year growth, and I generated more than $1.6M in total billings.

Earlier, at The Spine & Health Center of NJ, I designed integrated campaigns that increased site traffic 20% and new patient volume 10% across two locations. I’m seeking to bring my recruiting leadership and process experience to an in-house Talent Acquisition role.
