What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values collaboration, and allows me to leverage my recruitment expertise to build strong teams.

With over 6 years of experience in full lifecycle technology recruitment, I have honed my skills in sourcing and hiring top talent in fast-paced environments. My journey began in the hospitality industry, where I managed corporate and social events, developing my multitasking and organizational skills that have been crucial in my recruitment career.

At J. J. Keller & Associates, I excelled as a Sr. Talent Acquisitions Specialist, where I was responsible for sourcing and onboarding technology professionals across various roles. I built strong relationships with hiring leaders, creating targeted sourcing strategies that resulted in a diverse slate of candidates. My ability to manage multiple positions simultaneously and achieve hiring goals has been a hallmark of my career.

Throughout my professional journey, I have consistently been recognized for my achievements, including multiple quarterly performance awards. I am passionate about building robust talent pipelines and contributing to organizational success through strategic recruitment practices.
