Building partnerships with hiring leaders and creating great recruiting experiences continues to be my passion! At T. Rowe Price, I’ve had the opportunity to learn a new and niche segment of financial services, which focuses on enriching the financial wellness of our clients and the communities we serve.While I’ve been able to stretch into other areas and work across the enterprise, my main client partnerships are within Global Distribution and have a focus on Intermediary Sales (executive sales), varied leadership and professional roles within Individual Investors and Retirement Plan businesses, as well as other digital, sales, and marketing enablement functions. Not only do I have an opportunity to recruit for these areas, I’ve gotten to take on these projects and leadership assignments:• Human Resources Rotational Program – focus on HR Analytics and Reporting• Hiring Manager Satisfaction Survey - Creating a Better Hiring Manager Experience• CRM Implementation - Gr8People

Earning the opportunity to mentor, coach, and train recruiters was incredibly fulfilling!

Being able to quickly transfer my knowledge of sourcing, internet recruiting, and salary negotiations were huge components to my success in this role. Mariner Finance doubled in size and I was the primary recruiter and responsible for an increase of 30% in the amount of Branch Manager Trainees. Reducing cost to hire by 56%, while experiencing an increase from 60 to over 125 open positions, was also a huge accomplishment in this position. As a result, I soon received a promotion from HR Representative to Talent Acquisition Specialist.
