I’m an IT Technical Recruiter that specializes in placing top IT talent. I have been doing this since 1998 and I still absolutely love what I do.
I’m not your typical recruiter. I’m in this industry because I actually love technology. It fascinates me and the people that work with it fascinate me even more. I know it sounds cheesy but my underlying motivation for recruiting is being able to help people. What you do every day to provide financial stability for yourself and your family should be something you actually enjoy doing (at least the majority of the time). It thrills me to be able to play ‘match maker’ between someone looking for a new position with an employer looking for that perfect person. I try my best to be very transparent and honest in any situation and I treat anyone I come in contact with like a real person, not a resume. Contact me and see for yourself. hplacino@fahrenheitIT.com
First and foremost, I’m the mother of two little boys that are the light of my life and a wife to a wonderful husband. The boys enjoy going to 3D movies, playing video games, playing soccer, singing in Honor Choir, and learning to play the piano. We also have two Chihuahua / Terrier mix fur babies named Vanellope & Hope that we all adore.
