Psssst - I am not a decision maker for any sort of product/service for corporate recruiting TA sales pitches. I'm a contractor. Go try for management.
If you send me a connection request that includes a request for a job and/or your resume - OR a sales pitch - it is an automatic decline.
*I do not offer reverse recruiting services*. For information on connecting with me (and other recruiters), please see my article: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/asking-recruiter-kristen-fife-she-her-hers-%3FtrackingId=Faui%252B%252FXsQbCEu6alDTGcpQ%253D%253D/?trackingId=Faui%2B%2FXsQbCEu6alDTGcpQ%3D%3D
Please, if we do not know each other, do not send me your resume/connection with a request āfor a jobā or to let you know if I hear of anything for you.
I am not interested in franchises, commission-only roles from agencies or offers to āhelp me build my businessā. I don't need to pay anyone for "exposure".
I am happy to introduce you to a connection at a target employer you have found and applied to in my network - please ask me for an introduction and include the job number/url ou have already applied to, and the person you would like to be introduced to.
Apparently I am an ATS guru based on conversations with my industry peers. I could walk into almost any recruiting role and be up and running in the ATS in a couple of hours. WorkDay, Taleo, Lever, Jobvite, SmartRecruiter, Taleo SMB, ZohoRecruit, Greenhouse. I have implemented several of those.
I provide fractional TA or direct hire services to employers who do not need a FT recruiting resource on a 1099 or W2 basis.
Leveraging extensive experience in recruiting to provide job seekers knowledgable guidance in their job search in North America. Resume revision/review/construction; LinkedIn optimization; interview preparation (including mock interviews); navigating salary negotiation; developing and leveraging your unique brand; developing a road search roadmap (including research).
If you are looking for resume/LI feedback, I am happy to provide my rates.
*Note, I do not accept dating requests and will report you on this platform.
