What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead high-impact talent acquisition—owning full-cycle hiring, improving recruiting processes, and strengthening candidate experience through strategic sourcing, retention focus, and strong partnership with hiring leaders.

I’m a results-driven Talent Acquisition and Recruiting professional known for an ownership mindset, exceptional organization, and strong partnerships with hiring managers, executives, and clients. I lead full-cycle recruiting, onboarding, retention initiatives, and employer branding—using strategic sourcing and process improvement to attract top talent and deliver an outstanding candidate experience.

In high-volume environments, I’ve managed and maintained robust pipelines (including leading requisitions for 150–300+), developed job descriptions and selection criteria with hiring leaders, and streamlined offer and onboarding flows. I’m proficient with ATS Worksay and other recruiting software for tracking and reporting, and I mentor hiring leaders to strengthen recruitment execution while improving operational efficiency and compliance.
