NOT a "Post & Pray" kind of a recruiter. I am a "GO-TO Talent Tracker and Hunter" who thoroughly evaluate candidates to check personal qualifications against job requirements; essentially "profile people and gauge chemistry of candidates for fit and understand their motivation" rather than sell a role.
Using a range of different methodologies and tools for IT recruiting, sales & marketing, because I don’t think a “one size fits all” approach is adequate or efficient, and all my sales and recruiting development effort has to go hand in hand, as an iterative process and it is vital to be involved in all aspects of the sales and recruitment process.
