Hiring should not take months or drain your bandwidth. Most teams lose time because their recruiters cannot keep up or do not know how to attract the right people. That is where I come in. I operate as an embedded recruiter and hiring partner, helping companies attract talent, improve recruiting operations, and build scalable hiring systems. I plug directly into your company, running sourcing, interviews, and offers end-to-end.

I spent nearly four years as a corporate recruiter and sourcer at UPS and Veritiv, screening résumés and deciding who got a call. Now I write the ones that get calls — fast, and without a drawn-out process. Most résumés aren't bad. They're written like a job description instead of a case for why you should be hired. That's what I fix. What you get • A rewritten, ATS-clean résumé built around the specific role you're targeting • Every bullet reframed as what you did → how you did it → what it produced • Positioning up top so a recruiter knows in six seconds why you fit • One round of revisions included How it works 1. Send me your current résumé and a job posting you're targeting. 2. I ask a short set of questions by message — no calls to schedule. 3. Draft back in 1–3 business days. Same-day available on request. Typical time: Résumés run 2–3 hours. LinkedIn profile rewrites run 1–2. Cover letters, under 1. Also available: LinkedIn rewrites, cover letters, interview prep, and job search strategy. Background: MSM in Management (Talent Training & Development). Six years running my own career development practice — 400+ clients, 50+ five-star reviews. I've worked both sides: corporate recruiting and sourcing, HR generalist work, and career services at a major public university. I won't fabricate experience or inflate titles. If something in your background isn't landing, I'll tell you straight and we'll position around it. Send me your résumé and the role you're going after.
