Experienced technical recruiter with a focus on diverse talent acquisition.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated technical recruiter with extensive experience in managing high-volume requisitions across various sectors, including Product, Design, and Data Security. My recent role at TikTok involved exceeding hiring goals with over five successful hires each month, demonstrating my ability to align candidate sourcing with team needs effectively.
Throughout my career, I have developed and implemented end-to-end recruiting strategies that support operational growth. My work at Lyft and Meta has allowed me to spearhead diversity initiatives, significantly boosting representation and enhancing the candidate experience. I thrive in collaborative environments, partnering with hiring managers to streamline processes and improve overall efficiency.
With a strong foundation in data-driven recruiting, I leverage tools like LinkedIn Talent Insights and Boolean searches to source top talent. My goal is to continue fostering inclusive hiring practices while driving organizational success through strategic talent acquisition.
