While I still tend to the hands-on care of matching candidates with amazing opportunities by supporting them through resume and portfolio updates, the interview process, and starting their dream jobs, I have also stepped in to lead the Synergis Creative Recruiting team.From daily collaboration on priorities and prompting innovative solutions toward building relationships with talented candidates, to training on all things creative and recruiting, I lead an inspiring team of 10 Recruiters and Account Executives to ensure we're the best recruiting partner for every candidate and client we work with. I've become our internal SME on User Experience Design, Product Design, UI/Visual Design, and Research skill sets, and actively maintain connections and relationships with UXers and Designers from Atlanta to NYC to San Francisco. In 2018, I was honored with the award of Recruiter of the Year and set a company record for Highest Recruiting Gross Margin.
