Senior Technical Recruiter | 13+ Years | 2x President's Club | Recruiter of the Quarter 3/4 in 2023 I don't just fill roles — I build careers and solve hiring problems. With 13+ years spanning national, regional, and global staffing agencies, I've developed a reputation for finding the right fit fast and helping candidates stand out in one of the most competitive job markets in history. My technical recruiting expertise covers the full spectrum of in-demand roles: Software Engineers and Architects, DevOps and Cloud Engineers, Cybersecurity professionals, Technical Project and Program Managers, Product Managers, Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, Business Systems Analysts, Technical Writers, and IT leadership. I've placed talent with Fortune 1000 companies, high-growth startups, and mid-size firms across healthcare, insurance, banking, technology, retail, and federal and state government. What sets me apart: • ATS Power User — I live inside Bullhorn, JobDiva, and Workday daily. I know exactly how these systems rank and filter resumes, and I use that knowledge to help candidates get seen. • Boolean Search Expert — I build precise, high-yield Boolean strings that surface the right candidates quickly and efficiently. • LinkedIn Recruiter Top Performer — Highest InMail response rate on my team for two consecutive years. I know how to craft outreach that actually gets a reply. • Proven Results — 2x President's Club Honoree, Recruitment Team MVP, Rookie of the Year, and Recruiter of the Quarter in 3 of 4 quarters in 2023.
