Summary

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY~

Experienced in Full-Cycle Technical Recruiting and been in Talent Lead roles for about off and on during my career now. I am highly skilled at building world-class teams in extremely fast-paced startup environments! Developed and implemented recruiting plans for the organizational pillars the team recruits on. Experience and highly enjoy helping and developing less experienced sourcers and recruiters on the team to help up-level them to better positions and help mature their skill level. I enjoy documenting new hire documents for them to onboard and get going faster, best practices end-to-end for recruiting and candidate experience, how to use out-of-the-box recruiting tactics and new sourcing strategies with social media, GitHub, and using online engineering groups to find candidates. I mainly enjoy startups because of the many types of projects you can take on, being able to wear multiple hats, and feeling value seeing the teams you built and the work they have accomplished. I have deep knowledge of numerous tools within the recruiting arsenal including outbound sourcing, networking, referrals, thinking outside the box, and getting extremely creative! progressive problem-solver and always looking at sourcing challenges from multiple angles. Experience leading recruiting teams, developing hiring plans, as well as improving recruiting processes. ability to build strong relationships with hiring managers, clients, candidates, and the recruiting team! Hands-on, dedicated, and competent with excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities to thrive in a fast-paced and challenging environment!

I’m a huge enthusiast and very passionate about many cutting-edge industries that are improving & positively impacting people's everyday lives. Just to name a few, Robotics, Aerospace & Aviation, UAVs & Drones, Biotech, Biopharma, AI, and Machine Learning. These emerging technologies will have major impacts on our future, and I find many of these industries and niches very interesting and would love the challenge and opportunity of working at some of these amazing companies. These companies and industries will be major players in the next upcoming years, and they will do many incredible things from cures for diseases. new types of transportation on the ground and in the sky, robotics, and artificial intelligence and that is just a drop in the bucket of what our technology will be able to do. it is my dream to bring together the technical recruiting knowledge and experience I've gained from being able and blessed enough to work at some of the most forward-thinking and top technology companies in the world while learning from some of the smartest and hardest working recruiting and engineering people and teams in the market! this is where my drive, excitement, and passion come from knowing the people that I hire are going to be some of the world's engineers who make these technologies and products possible. this is the best place to put my technical recruiting gift to use, which is hiring the people to that will help change the world!
