OBJECTIVE
Due to my past experiences specializing in full-cycle hands-on recruiting
and management, I have the ability to instinctively listen to my intuitions
while being highly resourceful and creative in facilitating the practical
applications of recruiting. I truly enjoy finding the perfect talent for
the right position and organization. As a Sr. Recruiter my goal is to
continue specializing in full-cycle Employment Practices as a regular-
benefited employee or as contractor-temp basis.

area that provides the most internal reward.
