I started Brandon Smith Consulting because my passion for helping successful talented IT Professionals/ Executives/Sales/Leaders find THE perfect role with the “right” Company is something I have always loved and honestly been really SUCCESSFUL at doing. It just made sense for me to take my many years experience and expertise across Corporate HR and Recruiting, Solution Services Firms, and fast paced Agency Recruiting and start helping the right clients. With a list of growing clients across the US, I have proven ability to help clients ranging from start-ups to large Fortune 500 companies make strategic hires required to build out highly successful teams. I have also consulted with clients helping them build out cutting edge employee incentive programs, innovative benefits plans, remote employee programs, and steered them on tool investment and ROI plans. I love what I do and my natural passion for talent acquisition has really helped me successfully build and scale Recruiting Teams I have led ranging in size from 5 - 22+ team members.Project Highlights/ Areas of focus:Big Data - Solutions Architects & Data Engineers for multiple distributionsMachine Learning - Architects and EngineersData Science - Architects and EngineersCloud - AWS, DataBricks, SnowflakeManagement Consultants - Program Managers, Project Managers, Program Managers, Product Managers, Business Analysts, Change Management, Process Engineers Managed Services - Sales/Account Executives, Network Engineers, Security Architects, Project Managers, NOC and Service Delivery Managers.

I worked as the only in-house Corporate Recruiter for Unisource Worldwide which is a 5,000+ employee company in the Paper, Packaging, and Facility Supply space. I reported to the Director of HR/Talent acquisition. I was responsible for managing, sourcing, and recruiting on 60+ open PERM positions at any given time. These roles were predominately in either IT, Supply Chain, or Accounting and Finance. I also managed Contract needs, and outsourced all of those needs to a 3rd party staffing partner, but also managed that candidate and their process. Responsible for candidate sourcing, and sorting ad response, qualifying candidates, screening candidates, packaging them with notes for review, scheduling interviews, confirming any travel, creating and getting offers approved before extending. In this role, I was responsible for building very strong relationships with our VP's, Director's, and Manager level customers and partnered with them to gain a clear understanding of their Ideal candidate, and where they were willing to flex. I created an in-house resume format, and Candidate screen form that was sent out to help highlight all the requirements that matched the candidates experience and needs. I was invited to attend Town-Hall Meeting, Team-Builder meeting, Speak during morning Agile Stand-up meetings, and was very welcomes and well respected by all.
