Technical recruiter with 7 years’ experience in cleared and AWS hiring.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a highly motivated, results-driven technical recruiter with 7 years in the technology industry, with a strong candidate experience focus. I own full life-cycle recruiting—sourcing, screening, interviewing, and hiring—and I’m known for building strong relationships with candidates, hiring managers, and stakeholders.
At Telos, I specialized in sourcing senior technical and cybersecurity professionals (TS/SCI + CI Poly, plus Full Scope), modernized and restructured the Talent Acquisition Strategy, and used data analytics to streamline decisions and process. I hired 158 candidates, achieved an average time-to-fill of 28.3 days for cleared IT roles, maintained a 2.6:1 Submit-to-Hire ratio, mentored 2 recruiters, and helped save $1,731,214 by reducing external agency usage—while supporting a $485M DMDC IT Gems bid/proposal contract and hiring 124 candidates.
