I'm a recruiter at heart. I enjoy owning the work as much as I do leading and building. But I have also been fortunate enough to become a people leader and know that people are at the heart of everything, no matter the organization size. Whether it's growing and scaling teams during hyper growth (500% while at FB/Meta), partnering with org leaders on strategic priorities or developing recruiters into talent advisors that are experts in their space, it's the people and my relationships with them that make the difference. I lead with empathy, I advocate for performance and I love developing and mentoring. I aim to lead people how they want to be led. My approach involves empowering my team members to do their best work by aligning their personal aspirations to ambitious goals of the organization. I push my team outside of their comfort zone with purpose and I'm right next to them doing the same for myself. I also do my best work "in the weeds," sitting next to my clients and partners to strategize, execute, consult and collaborate. I've driven team and departmental transformations and have threaded the needle of achieving high performance while still being an empathetic and supportive leader. Oh, and there are bad puns and dad-jokes along the way, of course. Key experience includes: - Over 6 years of technical recruiting experience within Data Analytics and Engineering (most recent) - Designed TA operating model to best support company goals and priorities while maximizing resourcing - Built a Data Analytics team of 17 (from one) - Global Recruiting hiring initiative across all business functions to accelerate towards 2021 hiring goals (leading to over 1,000 global hires in 8 week span) - Global hiring sprint that was critical to the launch of company priority product: IG Reels - Designed bespoke hiring processes to fit the speed and talent needs of unique business units/teams - Evaluated vendors and Implemented ATS - Operated as a founding member/recruiter in a early stage/small startups - Managed full requisition load while leading a team including the hiring, onboarding and training of 8 ICs and eventually leading a full roll up of 20 in support of a 1500 person org - Managed technical and non-technical hiring, high volume and niche searches
