***About Me*** I’m an entrepreneurial recruiter that’s extremely passionate about candidate experience. HR & Recruiting is often a candidate's first exposure to a brand’s culture, and they will set the tone for what candidates can expect for the rest of their interview process and likely their employment. ***My simple recruiting guidelines*** • Treat every single person how you would want to be treated. Respond with kindness, respect, and always be mindful of not wasting anyone’s time. • Don’t be a black hole. 100% response rate is something I live by because nobody wants to be ignored while putting themselves out there for a job, especially if they have entered the process already. • Manage expectations & find the right fit. Do everything possible to set your company and the candidate up for success, and if there are any issues along the route be communicative and transparent. A bad fit helps nobody, and delays in any process need to be flagged and communicated immediately. Past the recruiting aspect, I love automation and finding the best way to connect systems to make them run as efficiently as possible. I have opportunities to do that in recruiting, with tools like Zapier and Glean, and also build projects for myself to automate where I can.
