tl;dr - Bringer of business value, and growth - believes in dynamic Talent Acquisition & HR consulting. Always ready to tackle the next challenge with precision and expertise. Professional journey is marked by a blend of strategic insight and a passion for empowering others.As a Talent Acquisition Sourcer, I study - people mostly, but also organizational culture and organizational goals to ensure that I can attract the correct talent that matches an organization's expectations. Equipped with solid experience in people operations (human resources) and educated in both business management and talent development (building training programs) with numerous certifications, I drive business outcomes and improve work environments by aligning available talent (who, for the most part, are "not looking") with business objectives. A high communicator who enjoys the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over, it is fun to deploy the latest talent-sourcing tools and put them to work alongside savvy recruitment strategies. I derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection with someone. The future inspires me with what could be, while empathy keeps a focused and grounded approach to engaging with folks by imagining myself in the lives of others or their situations as we converse. CONTRIBUTIONS INCLUDE: * Implementing, standing up, and refining talent-sourcing strategies.* Leading, coaching, and guiding talent acquisition teams and initiatives. * Being a People & Search Tech junkie.* Fixer of unsuccessful Talent Strategies and disconnected HR Departments.* Loves to establish and support Start-Up recruitment environments.
