I build high-volume recruiting functions and pipelines that accelerate hiring.
What I'm looking for
At Victory Starts Now, I built the talent acquisition function from scratch while independently running 35+ active searches across 22+ sites. I reduced time-to-fill from 60+ to 20 days and achieved a 96% offer acceptance rate.
Across healthcare, behavioral health, staffing, technology, and corporate functions, I've owned full-cycle hiring from intake through onboarding. I've built candidate databases at three organizations, hired 20+ people per month at peak volume, and led a team of seven recruiters.
