What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, values collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a results-oriented Senior Technical Recruiter with over 8 years of experience in full-cycle recruitment across various sectors, including engineering, construction, and skilled trades. My expertise lies in sourcing top-tier candidates and managing recruitment processes in both agency and corporate settings, particularly in startup environments. I hold a Security+ certification and an active Secret Clearance, which enhances my ability to work in sensitive and high-stakes recruitment scenarios.

Throughout my career, I have successfully achieved significant financial milestones, including over $250K in direct hires and $300K in contract billing within my first 10 months at 1Resource Group. I excel in building strong relationships with hiring managers to develop targeted hiring strategies and ensure a seamless recruitment experience. My proficiency in leveraging ATS systems and advanced sourcing techniques has allowed me to create robust talent pipelines and deliver qualified candidates efficiently.

I am passionate about driving innovation in recruitment and continuously seek to enhance my skills through certifications and training. I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to contributing to the success of organizations by connecting them with exceptional talent.
