Hello, I have 6 years of recruiting experience and have a number of years of recruiting management experience. I love recruiting, the rewarding feeling of being able to tell a candidate that they finally got the job that they so craved for. Being able to be a part of a culture that strives to make a diverse and equitable workforce is a great motivator for me. During my time as a recruiter, I have set numerous records including setting the record for the most contract and permanent placements while at Bcforward, Pinnacle group and TSYS. I have also set the record for most gross profit brought in during a fiscal year with an average of 1.5 million brought in over a 2 year period. I look forward to hearing from you!
