Hello,

As a seasoned recruiter, sourcer and career coach for 19 years I am well qualified for the senior recruiter position currently posted simplyhired.com

I pride myself on the relationships I build with both hiring managers and candidates during the recruiting process. An avid researcher when it comes to recruiting trends through blogs and online journals, reviewing new technologies for both sourcing and recruiting, mostly due to passion about the industry and staying ahead of the game.

Social Media is a passion of mine; it’s a game changer in recruiting today as well as for business development. Top social media sites for recruiting today are changing and evolving at a fierce pace and it is important to stay on the edge of new developments. Additionally, they are becoming the tools of choice for driving recruiting strategies, like employee referral programs and pipeline development.

In addition to my recruiting background, I have developed a great deal of experience in networking and community relations, running the career center at DBM. I led many job networking and career counseling sessions and workshops as well as developing material for our clients.

Thank you your consideration.

Sincerely,

Leesa Meintzer
