Email: A------------ SUMMARY
I have over 5+ years of professional experience in sales and talent management in corporate recruiting environments, including positions ranging from entry-level to leadership roles. During this time, I have helped midsize/large companies effectively, and efficiently, manage the recruiting process to attract top talent into critical roles.
I have worked with hiring leaders at all levels, from new managers to directors, VPs, and have a strong ability to build credibility quickly. Bringing strong technical sourcing skills, including proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter, my passion is to truly understand the motivations of a candidate and the genuine needs of business leaders, to bring the best "fit" to an organization - beyond the skills listed on a resume or requirements on a job description. I was involved in SOFHO ( student organization for helping others ) & FCCLA ( future community leaders of America) from 2008-2011
