What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead recruitment and training efforts, improve hiring outcomes, mentor teams, and work in a collaborative, performance-driven environment.

My name is Kenesha and I am a results-driven Executive Recruiter and Talent Development Specialist with over six years of experience in recruitment, customer service, and management. I deliver consistent hiring results and efficient candidate onboarding across high-volume campaigns.

I have led recruitment teams, sourced and qualified candidates using Boolean searches and multiple VMS platforms, and managed end-to-end hiring processes while liaising directly with hiring managers and CEOs. I maintain strong organization using CRM/cloud tools, Excel databases, and calendar systems.

My experience spans ERC/ERTC tax recovery work, client delivery leadership, and training roles where I developed and presented PowerPoint training materials and ran interview and onboarding workflows. I am proficient with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and tools including HubSpot, Zoho, Maropost, Avature, Greenhouse, Fieldglass, and other applicant tracking and VMS systems.

I bring a professional, communicative, and client-focused approach, a proven track record of reliability, and a commitment to helping businesses and candidates succeed through strategic sourcing, training, and problem-solving.
