and Executive candidates for contract and permanent positions located
nationally. I specialize in highly technical skill sets with limited
assignments from other diverse business units. I identify passive and
often 'invisible' talent as well as active candidates. Conduct
interviews, and any necessary follow up to assess special skills,
logistics or concerns. Present candidates to hiring managers with an
overview of qualifications, availability, compensation, etc. Coordinate
interviews, check references, extend offers, diffuse counter offers and
help facilitate relocation when required. Maintain ATS and company's
database as well as records OFCCP and other government compliance reports
as needed. I have also spent a total of seven months at various client
sites performing recruiting on demand services as well as mentoring
internal HR staff with sourcing and recruiting techniques as needed.
