About Don Wright

I am an experienced Military/Veteran Recruiter with proven ability and knowledge in regards to talent acquisition. I posses strong leadership skills, curiosity to find a better way and the experience to implement those ideas into my daily tasks. I have proven abilities to work well independently or in a team based atmosphere. Excellent decision-making capabilities and strong communication skills. On a day to day basis I work with fellow Talent Acquisition Specialists and Team Leaders to identify company needs, source and contact talent from various websites, career fairs or direct applications to our open positions.A few of my specialty skills would include: cold calling, communication skills, conflict management, customer relations, hiring, leadership, interviewing, mentoring, needs analysis, organizational skills, problem solving, telephone skills, computer skills, and many more. Our team members love working for Quicken Loans because of our undeniably unique culture. We have what many would call a "work hard, play hard" atmosphere. We have innovative technology, incredible talent and many opportunities for rapid growth and development. As a company, we are known nationwide for our consistent and amazing customer service provided to our clients. A few of our accolades include:-We ranked No. 5 on FORTUNE magazine's annual "100 Best Companies to Work For" list in 2016, and has been named among the top 30 companies on this list for 13 years running.-Quicken Loans has also been recognized as one of Computerworld Magazine's "100 Best Places to Work in IT" the past 12 years, holding the No. 1 rank the past 4 years running.When I am not at work, I enjoy playing recreational sports. Golf, Snowboarding, Biking and ATVing would make up the majority of that time. Staying active and spending time with friends and family is very important to me. Football takes up a lot of my free time from September-February. Probably why Fall is my favorite season.
