was able to source candidates from internet job sites, current

databases and networking to identify potential candidates. Potential

candidates were then phone screened and interviewed in person.

After face to face interviews, references were checked and then

if approved, resumes were submitted to the hiring manager. I

scheduled interviews with the hiring manager and followed-up with the

manager after the interview to ascertain suitability of the candidate

presented. When an offer was ready to be made, presented the offer to

the candidate and negotiated hire salary with the candidate. The

better understand their hiring needs and present candidates that more

closely matched their needs. Once the requirement for a new position

was obtained, worked on matching the skills to the available

candidates. Potential candidates were sourced from internet job

boards, databases, cold calling and referrals. Potential candidates

were phone- screened and interviewed face to face.

After face to face interviewing and reference checking resumes

were submitted to the hiring manager. I scheduled interviews with the

hiring manager and followed-up with the manager after the interview to

ascertain suitability of the candidate presented. When an offer was

ready to be made, presented the offer to the candidate and negotiated
