  • ZimZee Recruiting
    Director of Recruiting
    ZimZee Recruiting
    May 2012 - Current (14 years 7 months)
    As Director of Recruiting at ZimZee Recruiting, I lead nationwide searches across high-tech, healthcare/life sciences, manufacturing, and aerospace—specializing in engineering, leadership, quality, research, nursing, and sales hires.

    With 14+ years in search, I pair technical fluency with a calm, consultative approach that delivers faster time-to-interview, curated shortlists, and hires that stick. I partner with founders, VPs, and hiring managers on direct-hire and contract needs—clarifying the bar, mapping the market, running targeted outreach, and communicating transparently from intake to offer.

    Candidates get advocacy and clarity; clients get market intel, salary benchmarks, and a trusted extension of their team
