Recruiter, Staffing Specialist, Headhunter, Talent Acquisition Professional

“Search, Assess and Deliver top talent, streamlining the hiring process and adding immediate and positive value to the corporation!”

I have been a significant contributor in the recruiting, executive search, temporary placement, day labor, and staffing industry for over 20 years; an expert, passionate, well connected headhunter, staffing, and recruiting professional.

My experience in recruiting and delivering top talent has encompassed an array of industries, disciplines and talent levels. I am organized, enthusiastic, an effective communicator, and work efficiently in a team, a leadership, or an individual capacity.

I have been successful over the decades working with unskilled workers, day labor, tradesman, semi skilled personnel, skilled craftspeople, managers, professionals, and CEO’s. I am comfortable working with people at all levels in their career path.

Currently seeking contract, part time or long term, permanent, and stable employment in the recruiting/staffing arena. My current company-Vantage Point Recruiters, is a small, home based business. It has been an entrepreneurial endeavor, but now I find myself seeking and available for full time, steady, and dependable employment.
