Liz Hargrove
@lizhargrove
I am an experienced buyer and recruiter specializing in procurement, sales, and talent acquisition.
What I'm looking for
I am a procurement and sales professional with more than 15 years of sales experience and over four years in purchasing. I combine strong vendor relationships with hands-on order management to deliver results.
I have more than 10 years experience in data entry and have utilized software applications to recruit employees, including ATS and VMS. I am comfortable with ERP tools such as SAP and Oracle and with detailed recordkeeping and requirements gathering.
My achievements include placing four new people in permanent positions within the first 60 days at Ajilon and exceeding sales expectations, and at Ericsson I tracked purchase orders using SAP, created and negotiated contracts, and maintained full purchasing documentation.
Currently I design millwork and doors using a software program, send requests for quotes, and follow up with customers to close sales or coordinate installations. I bring negotiation, process improvement, cross-functional teamwork, and account management experience to roles in purchasing, recruiting, and sales.
