I work with our employer partners to develop recruitment strategies & marketing to drive value, while working with our tech team to deliver a product that helps connect them with local talent and community partners faster.There’s so much more to come. If yall thought I was impatient, or “persistent,” as a recruiter…. just wait. But, I also really wanted to thank EVERYONE that reached out to me over the last 10 months, whether on here or via other channels, to offer support, leads, or just catching up and talking shop while I was looking for my next opportunity. It meant the world to me, and I just wanted to thank you again for the love and support. As I continue to ramp up, please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about RiseKit and how our platform can help you hire entry-level and frontline talent faster!
