Most of my career has been spent in Sales, Technical Recruitment Consulting, & Corporate Recruitment Management

I’ve worked for several international companies, including two award-winning Recruitment firms, an oracle Enterprise consulting firm, & a quickly-scaling dutch SaaS company.

 

Timeline

 

2007

Just as the economy was taking a dive, I graduated college & began selling AFLAC insurance. It was a simple arrangement— I earned money when I made sales. It required heavy personal outbound marketing & new business development. I did well enough to get promoted to Assistant District Manager.


2011

After arriving in New York City in 2011, I stumbled into an opportunity to work for a quickly growing, UK-based Microsoft ERP tech recruitment consulting firm. I operated a “full desk,” meaning I found my own clients & placed candidates with them personally. I did well there, being promoted twice & achieving over $1 million in revenue generation.


2015

After 4 years, I took an opportunity to direct all internal recruitment for an Oracle Platinum Partner operating in the US, Europe, & Dubai. They wanted to grow aggressively before positioning for sale in 2-3 years. Working remotely, I collaborated with stakeholders leading 6 units with differing hiring needs. I enjoyed the challenge of coaching hiring managers on process improvement while reporting to the CEO. Unfortunately for me, they received a great offer about 7 months later & the entire company was acquired.


2017

I jumped back into recruitment consulting with another UK-based firm. Working directly with the President of North America & the global CEO, I set a new precedent for how my colleagues would market themselves. Leveraging the LinkedIn algorithm (rewarding adopters of new features), I began producing & uploading video advertisements. The ROI gained from the increased organic reach led to my method being implemented globally across the company. It also taught me a lot about the power of video content.


2018

Around this time, some family health concerns required I be flexible in my location and career, so the next opportunities I took were contracts to establish new technical recruitment markets in the New York City area. This includes strategically implementing protocol for North American-style recruitment for a Dutch SaaS e-Commerce company, followed by setting-up/launching the NYC recruitment market for a Salesforce.com enterprise tech consulting firm.
