6/04 - 4/08 RAYTHEON (Contract) Dallas TX
Sr. SWAT Team Sourcing Lead
As a sourcer I wrote Boolean search strings for all the recruiters on the SWAT Recruiting Team.
Member of 10 person SWAT Team established by Raytheon Corporate that recruited for
difficult-to-fill technical defense positions across this conglomeration of six companies, a vast
spectrum of positions that ranged from electronic warfare to finding a Bio-Hazard Safety Engineer
for Azerbaijan. Also recruited patent attorneys with BSEE.
New reqs came to me first and followed the sequence of interviewing the hiring manager with the
recruiter present. Then I would break down the technical req into terms that the recruiter could
relate to. Next step was for me to write Boolean strings for the other recruiters. This was my full
time job. We were very successful.
Taught classes on Boolean recruiting in various U.S. locations of Raytheon.
Using VBA, designed specialized Applicant Tracking System just for the SWAT Team.
