• I developed and maintained client accounts within the field of electrical hardware and software/systems. • My day-to-day tasks included, but were not limited to: cold calling, lead reconciliation and reference processing. • I spearheaded our engagement with Canada-based clients in 2007 that continues to provide a windfall of revenue through demand in customer requests for contract staff. • I was able to quickly identify the demand for web-based applications development (C#, Java, HTML) in 2008 before many in the contract-staffing industry had fully recognized the need. This not only provided Oxford with contract staffing opportunities, but helped our recruiting team gain an advantage in sourcing the contract personnel that would be necessary to fill these positions. • In addition to client account development, another primary facet of this role involved direct contract negotiation with the client (B, C, D an V level executives), including: hourly bill rate, contract length and buyout terms.• The following highlights some of my accomplishments during my tenure with Oxford International:• $12+million in total sales from 2006-2012• 5 consecutive years of at least $2-3million in sales• 5 consecutive years of placing at least 20-30 new contractors on assignment.• 2008 Oxford President’s Club Award Winner (#1 Biller in SW/HW division)• 2009 Oxford President’s Club Qualifier (#2 Biller in SW/HW Division)• 2010-2012 (Top 5 Billing in SW/HW Division)• Highest fill per-opening ratio within SW/HW Division (2012)• Placed the first Top Secret Clearance Oxford contractor (2007)
