I came into Accenture as part of an acquisition from Pillar and spent my time supporting a team of geographically dispersed Talent Engagement Consultants. An incredible team - they took the candidate relationship to a whole new level by investing their time and expertise to help. I got to remove obstacles that blocked them from where they need to go and helped them grow. I enjoyed helping my team, and ultimately the business, reach the goals we’d been trying to achieve through servant leadership, employing agile practices and asking thoughtful questions. I also have a passion for continuous improvement; making iterative changes to our talent acquisition process in order to ensure the user experience is the best it can be each time. I’m recognized as someone who genuinely cares for others’ wellbeing and who fiercely advocates for doing the right thing. I’m a do-er. I like to make sure we make progress, that we continue to grow and learn, that we help the business grow with the role that we play in talent acquisition.
