What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven recruiting leader with extensive in-house and agency experience across a wide range of industries, including cloud computing, technology, financial services, healthcare, management consulting, media, and telecommunications. My proven track record in full-cycle recruitment for both technical and non-technical roles, executive search, and talent strategy development has equipped me with the skills to build strong hiring partnerships and deliver efficient, high-quality hiring processes in fast-paced environments.
In my most recent role as a Recruiting Manager at Effectual, I led end-to-end recruitment for Professional Services and Managed Services teams, hiring across various functions, including Executive Leadership and AWS/Cloud Architects. My collaborative approach with hiring teams allowed me to develop and execute effective sourcing strategies, ensuring a high level of candidate experience and hiring manager satisfaction. Throughout my career, I have leveraged multiple ATS platforms and advised business leaders on market trends and hiring strategies, consistently refining interview best practices and internal talent mapping.
