- Delivered Career Search Workshop for attendees at Hiring and Networking Events for talent who possess active security clearances
3. Which project from your past work are you most proud of?
A few years ago I re-designed a temporary Staffing program that provided cost-savings to an organization by reducing engagement of third-party vendors for temporary, surge support and stand-in for core staff. Utilization increased by 40% and we ultimately converted about 80% of the temporary staff to full time, regular employees.
4. Do you believe the HR/recruiting industry is poised for more freelancers? If yes, why?
Absolutely. HR/recruiting has always been well positioned for gigs.
5. Whats a fun fact you want people to know about you?
My first car was a stick shift/manual, so I'm obviously superior to people who can only drive automatics.
