I am a senior level HR Consultant and a career coach, resume/LinkedIn profile writer, author, and Huffington Post career advice blogger based near Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. I have worked in the Human Resources Management field, for over 15 years, with my last position being the Director of Human Resources for an innovative renewable solutions company. I am not just a great writer; I have reviewed tens of thousands of resumes throughout my career, while working in a hiring capacity, and have hired (and not hired!) thousands of individuals. Without a doubt, I know *exactly* what it takes to get you noticed. I also had the rewarding opportunity to create a Human Resources department from scratch as we tripled the size of the company. I wrote the first policy and procedure manual and its many subsequent revisions. I was also responsible for the corporate employee newsletter, new hire collateral, most corporate communication pieces, and all recruiting. Most recently, I have been working as an HR Consultant for small businesses all over the country helping them create HR processes and procedures. I also work as a career coach/resume writer and have written/re-written hundreds of resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, and bios. In addition, I help job seekers prepare for job interviews by running them through an actual job interview and providing comprehensive feedback. My extensive HR/business background, combined with my exceptional writing skills, gives me a strong edge in any project involving HR Consulting/Management, recruiting, resume/cover letter/LinkedIn profile writing, and job/career coaching. I have my first book launching later this year...stay tuned! ****Please note, that the jobs "in progress" tab on my work history, which shows 50+ jobs, are not actually jobs in progress. The majority of them are completed jobs in which the client kept the job open for later work or simply forgot to close it out after completion.

Hi, I'm Chris Sena, Founder of Landid LLC, a botique recruiting firm established in 2018, and a former Fortune 15 Human Resources executive. Over the course of my career, I've personally led hundreds of professional, management, and executive searches across Finance, Operations, HR, Sales, Marketing, and IT for small and mid-sized companies throughout the United States. I founded Landid with a simple philosophy: every search deserves the attention, strategy, and partnership typically reserved for an organization's most critical hires. When you hire me, you work directly with me throughout the entire search - from our first intake discussion through your new hire's first day. What Sets Me Apart? ✓Business-First Recruiting Every search begins with understanding your business strategy, culture, leadership team, and what success looks like beyond the job description. Great recruiting starts with understanding the business - not just the position. ✓Precision Candidate Identification I excel at translating hiring manager discussions into a clear candidate profile and then identifying, engaging, and assessing that talent in the marketplace. My goal isn't to find available candidates - it's to find the right candidates. ✓Curated Candidate Slates I don't overwhelm hiring managers with resumes. Every candidate I present has been carefully evaluated for technical capability, leadership potential, organizational fit, motivation, and long-term success. ✓Market Intelligence Throughout the search, I provide ongoing market insight - including candidate availability, compensation trends, competitive hiring activity, and feedback on how your opportunity is being perceived - so you can make informed hiring decisions as the search evolves. ✓Exceptional Candidate Experience Top candidates have choices. I build strong relationships, maintain consistent communication, navigate concerns, negotiate offers, and keep candidates engaged through their first day of employment. Every interaction reflects your organization's brand. ✓Hands-On Partnership Unlike many recruiting firms, I don't outsource searches or hand clients off to junior recruiters. I personally lead every engagement from beginning to end. In Conclusion If you're looking for a recruiting partner who takes the time to understand your business, represents your organization professionally, and is committed to finding exceptional talent—not just filling positions—I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your hiring needs.
