Positive, engaging and tech-savvy recruiter with knack for connecting the dots for culture as well as skill fit. Whether using behavioral techniques, clearly communicating requirements or understanding hiring manager preferences, I am passionate about candidate experience and best practices. My diverse experience in regulated environments such as financial services and international import helps me connect in an authentic, powerful way with people of all demographics. Thrive in high volume, deadline-driven environments. Social media native. These days I wear two hats. By day I am a recruiter who finds and engages A list candidates for my clients on a perm or contract basis. By night, I am a wordsmith distilling years of experience with LinkedIn for various sites. But no matter what time of day, I am a job seeker ally. Specialties: √ Best practices √ Building and growing enduring relationships √ Communication: any medium √ Social media √ LinkedIn

Recruiter @ Sourcing & selecting top-shelf talent for our clients of all sizes, Fortune 1000 and smaller, with greatest successes in the healthcare, financial services, banking, education, telecommunications, and transportation logistics industries. Roles for which I am hiring right now: My client D is a global software firm. In the office, we call them Silicon Alley in the Delaware Valley. They have a strong startup feel whose growing team has *quintupled* in the past 2 years. Their perks are unbelievable, especially in their work hard, play hard culture--honestly, I'm kind of in awe. They value formal education, so a 4 year degree is an absolute must. The following are all permanent placements: √ Business Analyst/Consultant. 4+ years of experience with preference for business consulting experience, specifically in software implementation. √ Technical Consultant. √ Senior Developer: 4+ years of experience with multiple object-oriented languages, ideally with C++ and Java, but also love Ruby on Rails and Scala, but also need strong SQL chops, too. √ Project Managers, 6+ years of enterprise software implementation (e.g., ERP, SAP, etc). My new client U is a popular consumer-facing startup with an amazing office environment in Silicon Alley. Flexible hours, opportunities to learn fun, new technologies, fully-stocked fridge: it's pretty amazing. √ UX Designer. Deep HCI knowledge and traditional and mobile dev skills are critical. Your UX, design, and prototyping chops must be strong. And knowing about fantasy sports wouldn't exactly hurt. If you know someone who's a match, send me a message or mention on Twitter.
