Senior recruiter driving high-volume clinical and corporate hiring.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior recruiter with over a decade of full-cycle experience leading high-volume, multi-state clinical and corporate hiring initiatives. I leverage data-driven sourcing, ATS optimization, and employer branding to consistently meet aggressive hiring goals and improve candidate pipelines.
Across roles at healthcare and corporate employers, I have reduced time-to-fill by up to 40%, maintained 95–98% fill rates, and improved offer acceptance to above 90% through targeted outreach, improved candidate experience, and manager coaching. I have led ATS migrations, integrated HRIS systems, and built analytics dashboards to streamline recruiting operations and forecasting.
I partner closely with hiring managers and HR leaders to design proactive recruitment plans, scale events and campus programs, and implement DEI and inclusive hiring practices. I am committed to continuous process improvement and using technology and market intelligence to deliver reliable staffing outcomes.
