Think back to your first job post-graduation. Maybe even your first day. How did it feel? What were you doing? Can you remember it? Most people can recall this time—it was pivotal in their careers.
I know I can remember this experience like it was yesterday. My passion for early career recruitment stems from my experience as a college hire transitioning into the working world. My first post-graduation job was working the graveyard shift as a front-line supervisor in a potato chip factory. After enduring a “survivor-like” interview process and a lack of corporate housing (that led to living with my realtor throughout my first week), I vowed to make the hiring experience more welcoming for other recent grads if I was ever given a chance.
As luck would have it, that opportunity presented itself over and over and over again throughout my progressive HR career.
Fast forward 15+ years. I had the opportunity to build a college recruiting department for a global company—from scratch. Throughout my time in this role, I saw firsthand the struggles of recruiting teams that don’t have the resources or bandwidth to design and implement a strategic university recruiting plan.
As a result, I developed this consulting practice.
My mission is to help business leaders craft and deliver a smart, easy-to-execute college recruiting strategy—“Recruit once, hire twice”—that will harness the power of internships to provide an ideal transition for students and solve a vital business need at the same time.
As a former talent acquisition and HR leader whose experience spans more than 15 years across multiple industries—including Fortune 200 companies, I have recruited, coached, and hired hundreds of professionals into positions ranging from human resources, finance, and engineering to tech, sales, and operations.
In short, I get what companies are looking for when hiring top talent. It’s what I do.
Constantly researching the latest trends in business and recruitment and recognizing new ways companies hire is part of my DNA. I diligently integrate this research into my practice so that I can serve you with the most up-to-date information.
