Managed recruiting with the national CORE group (Center of Recruiting Excellence) in a remote role in technical recruiting, providing consulting skills across many industries/verticals within IT. My latter focus was on the placement of Java and Java Enterprise Developers, along with a team of recruiters and recruiting directors focused on ERP/Business Intelligence talent needs for our clients. As a recruiter I also supported both contract and direct hire roles for a variety of positions that included Lead Architects, Application Developers & Software Engineers/Programmers of various backgrounds (Java, .Net, C#, etc.), Business Analysts, QA/Testers, Technical Project Managers, DBAs, Database Modelers/Developers, and Network/Systems Engineers.My experience at Experis was very team-based, working together to make the best impact for all of our clients;... impact applied through:DELIVERY (finding the best, most aligned IT professionals for our clients, as quickly as possible). I believe that consistent delivery within talent acquisition is the primary contributor to service buy-in and long-term client partnership.
