Work History

Lifestyle Marketing Inc.

HR Director
10.2022 - Current

Job overview

I leveraged my expertise in applicant tracking systems (ATS) to streamline and optimize the recruitment process. By implementing and utilizing ATS, I was able to efficiently track and manage candidate applications, as well as analyze key recruitment metrics for continuous improvement.


In addition to utilizing technology, I also excelled in building relationships with candidates, leveraging my exceptional communication skills and ability to connect with individuals on a personal level. My experience in cold calling and attending networking events allowed me to proactively source and engage with candidates, resulting in a larger pool of qualified candidates for our organization.


My ability to effectively engage with candidates and match them with the right job opportunities was exemplified by my recognition as a top AT&T residential recruiter. Through strategic sourcing and effective candidate relationship management, I successfully filled numerous open positions, contributing to the growth and success of the organization.
