Erene Philips is a Managing Director at Technology Resource Management at Technology Resource Management. She possess expertise in recruiting, vendor management, project management, interviews, sales and 30 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "I've challenged Erene many times over the past few years to help me build my architecture team. The requests have included searches for solutions architects - with varying levels of experience - but always with a very difficult profile to find: one based on competencies first, experience and skills second.
Erene is not a typical client account manager. From our first meeting, she invested time in partnering with me to really understand the requirements for the positions I was looking for - as well as to understand my existing staff and the culture of my group. Her intent is to understand and define what a "successful fit" would be ahead of time before even working with her recruiters and making sure I'm defining "success" the same way.
Erene is extremely dedicated and passionate about what she does. She has always been incredibly receptive to feedback and has incorporated my comments and suggestions immediately - adjusting searches on the fly. She has never pushed "her" cause - it's always been about what I need.
Erene's commitment and personal effort has resulted in less effort on my part, including very little wasted time to review candidates and almost no fruitless interviews. Her "hit rate" has been incredible - far exceeding any other recruiters or staffing agencies I've worked with in my career.
I know that if I'm going to work with Erene on filling a need, I'm guaranteed to get someone that truly understands me, my organization, the job/position I'm looking for, and the type of person that would have the greatest chance of succeeding here for me. I'm also guaranteed to get either great candidates or no candidates. She refuses to waste my time with the wrong people and has always been upfront with me about where the searches stand and what the pros/cons of potential candidates might be.
I would gladly recommend Erene (and Aetea) for anyone that is looking for a business partner to help them find exceptional talent - especially a role that has proven difficult to staff in the past, such as an architect.
I can't tell you how refreshing it is to work with someone like Erene. She clearly stands out in what has proven to be a class of very mediocre staffing vendors and recruiters with no value-add.", "I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Erene Philips for almost 3 years. In a world and an industry that features many stale, incompetent and unmotivated salespeople Erene is a true breath of fresh air. She came to AETEA without any industry experience and fully committed herself to learning and mastering all the nuisances that are inherent in staffing. She devoted herself to being a “student of the game” and learned the job the right way through her clients, her consultants, her colleagues and her manager/s. She asked questions, listened intently, took copious notes and applied her skills. The result? She is one of the best and brightest salespeople in the IT Staffing industry today. Erene possesses and expresses all the characteristics that you would want in a person/salesperson- honesty, integrity, desire, focus and commitment. The bottom line is Erene is a rising star with an incredibly promising career in front of her.", and "Erene has been key in helping us find the most difficult resources required to staff my application development team. Her dedication has helped us build a world class team that is prepared to deliver the solutions our business requires. She has taken the time to partner with us and learn our needs. She has also made the process seamless and efficient which has significantly shortened the time it takes to fill positions. Intelligence, hard work and superior communication are all keys to her success, and in turn ours."
