What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior recruiting role where I can drive high-volume technical and cross-industry hiring, improve processes, work closely with hiring leaders, and continue building candidate pipelines and strategic relationships.

I am a results-driven senior recruiter with 8+ years of talent acquisition and administrative support experience across healthcare, manufacturing, and technology. I consistently meet aggressive hiring targets, achieving President's Club recognition in 2023 with over $500K in gross profit, 23 direct hires and 40+ contract placements that year, and multiple fast-turn IT placements.

I specialize in high-volume recruitment coordination, applicant tracking systems (Bullhorn and other ATS), candidate communication, background check coordination, and recruiting event management. I build trusted relationships with C-level executives and hiring managers, source across IT specializations including Software Engineering, AI/ML, ERP systems, and federal contracting, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve hiring processes and candidate experience.
