Employment:

****-****: Senior Recruiter, David Brown International, Seattle, WA

The motivation and purpose in my work with DBI was to foster relationships that allowed people to be

their best-selves. This meant that instead of just finding specific skill-sets and talent, I found symbiotic fit

between clients, candidates, and the work that they accomplish together. This holistic perspective

elevated the client relationship and allowed me to operate as a strategic partner with clients to create

bridges between their design and business needs.

earning trust and approval resulting in succeeding where my competition could not and filling multiple

difficult positions.

candidates who otherwise do not work with recruiters.

Responsible for full-desk recruiting, including business development for my own practice niche. This

and close prospective clients to contract for search services and resulted in client word of mouth

growing so that within six months of work new clients with new business contacted me due to

referrals from other active clients.

Developed and maintained a detailed large-scale ATS database of key talent.

Identified and screened qualified candidates; coordinated and participated in the interview process.

Responsible for on-going training and sharing of best-practices within the firm.

make connections across groups to improve efficiency and add fluidity to processes company -wide.
