  • Key emphasis on identifying new market opportunities with medium to large sized businesses (50-1,000 employees) by thoroughly researching and reaching out to the appropriate decision makers (Managers to C-Level/VP) pitching both my consulting service and product (candidates) via cold calling, email campaigns and LinkedIn messaging.
  • I conducted preliminary/screening interviews with candidates and then coordinated interviews between candidates and clients. I acted as a consultant throughout the interview process from beginning to end on both the client and candidate end. Kept in touch with candidates up until start date and assisted with onboarding as needed. Average deal size $20-50k.
