Dear Hiring Manager:

I was interested to see your job posting, and would like to learn more about this opportunity.

I have 6 years of experience working within the human resource department of variously sized

companies as well as industries. In my current role, I am responsible for all sourcing efforts, nationwide,

for over 20 different sites in 14 states; including the Dominican Republic and Hawaii. I managed

relationships with all hiring & station managers, directors, and executives. I also traveled out of state and

assisted in recruitment and retention efforts. Additionally, I was responsible for reference checks,

implementing Taleo as an ATS, quality control, and process improvements. I also assisted in VOEs,

benefits questions, onboarding pieces, and a handful of other HR projects. In my contract role with

Primesource Healthcare and Mosaic Sales Solutions. I was responsible for the entire internal recruitment

process. I assisted in all recruitment and sourcing efforts, coordinated interviews, as well as managed the

entire on boarding process for new associates. In addition, I also met with various executives on a weekly

basis to maintain metrics, job scopes and retention efforts. With Mosaic, I was using experiential

marketing methods to actively recruit candidates as well as own the entire requisition from start to finish.

In my previous role with Peoplescout, I was responsible for all open positions within three regions

of the country; including 9 states and up to 75 requisitions. In my role as Recruiter, I conducted all phone

interviews and requisition tracking. Additionally, I also coordinated all hiring events, advertising, and job

sourcing. This position required “out of the box thinking” on a daily basis. All my previous positions have

given me a firm understanding of business conduct in the private and public sectors, as well as the

initiative to specialize my career path.

I am currently a third year student at DePaul university, earning my BA in HR Management in

2014. I will be taking my PHR Certification this year as well.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to have the opportunity to discuss the

opening with you in person.

Sincerely,

Teri Yackley
