Senior Associate with The Mason Group’s Contract Division. Bachelor of Arts in Commerce and Economics from the University of Toronto. After more than 15 years of professional experience in Financial Services working for fortune 500 companies, I began the Talent Acquisition chapter of my career in 2004 with a niche firm that specialized in contract and project placement of highly skilled Accounting and Finance professionals.My ability to genuinely empathize with candidates while effectively understanding the essence of their skills, strengths and areas of opportunity and expertise, sets me aside from most of my peers in the recruiting industry. “My goal is to help candidates achieve their full potential and bring them closer to their career aspirations.”Matching the “right” candidate with the “right” opportunity is more of an art than a skill. My focus on the candidate experience (more so than simply screening candidates based on technical skills) is paramount to my success as a Senior Recruiter. I strives to ensure that every candidate I meets gets a positive takeaway from their interaction.
