Talent Acquisition is my jam! I've led corporate recruiting teams, built recruiting software, co-founded a tech recruiting conference, trained recruiters and hiring managers, and consulted with hiring teams globally.
In my current role as Principal Consultant, Recruiting Toolbox, I am privileged to work with companies worldwide, in all industries, helping them develop strategies and tactics to attract, find, and select high-performing talent. I have trained thousands of hiring managers and recruiters, developed content, and helped TA leaders build and execute strategic plans. Additionally, I co-founded a national conference for tech recruiters, Talent42. Earlier this year, Talent42 was acquired by ERE Media. I recently founded RecruiterHunt.com, a curation site for recruiters. I absolutely love what I do!
My corporate experience includes Yahoo!, where I was Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition. At Yahoo!, I led the strategic sourcing team, revitalizing the employee referral program and Yahoo’s employer brand. Our team was awarded a coveted Yahoo! Superstar Award, an ERE Excellence award, and advertising industry awards. Before joining Yahoo!, my corporate experience included senior talent acquisition roles at Starbucks, Microsoft, Amazon.com, and Capital One.
I regularly contribute to recruiting industry publications, including SourceCon, ERE Exchange, Dice Employer Network, and Recruiting Trends, and I am a frequent speaker at recruiting events. I am a Candidate Experience Award (CandE) Council Member and a charter member of ATAP (Association of Talent Acquisition Professionals).
I am currently on the Board of Directors of Seattle YouthCare, a non-profit organization that works to end youth homelessness in Seattle.
