Our services include technical recruiting (including contract, direct hire, and executive placements), business development solutions, and capture management support. I founded and currently lead our our IT Recruiting Services division.Prior to Centradyne, I held leadership positions in the Technology Recruiting practices of several DC metro area and national search firms, where I consulted with technology organizations, IT executives, and HR leaders to develop recruiting strategies that attracted top talent for staff and Executive positions in Information Technology. I have also worked internally in corporate recruiting and talent acquisition, and supported HP's expansion in multiple US markets, including the human capital requirements for HP's Cloud Computing solutions. My experience in staffing and search leadership is supported by my early career in professional writing, marketing communications and business analysis roles for software product, telco, media, and government contracting companies. I am experienced in contract, direct hire, and executive search, and well versed in all aspects of the recruiting and placement lifecycle: including research, outreach/engagement, sourcing, qualification, and negotiating compensation packages.I welcome the opportunity to connect with leaders in IT, HR, and Talent Acquisition who are seeking solutions to resource challenges, as well as current and future technology leaders who are open to new opportunities or seek guidance in career-related topics.On a select basis, I also partner with other recruiting agencies that require support for hard-to-fill or niche positions that exceed the capacities of their full-time recruiting staff.As a member of Women in Technology (WIT) of the DC Metro area, I volunteer in the WIT Mentoring Program, providing mentoring and career guidance to women who are seeking to advance their careers in IT fields.
