Chris Wessell’s Experience

Recruiter

Yoh

(Privately Held; 1001-5000 employees; Staffing and Recruiting industry)

March 2006 — Present (2 years 8 months)

I work for Yoh's Managed Staffing division, which focuses on fulfillment of requirements for national accounts, as well as providing contingency workforce management solutions through our vendor management software offering, Yoh Exchange, which was jointly developed with SAP America.

Prior to being on this team, in my time at Yoh I've also worked as an SAP recruiter (focused on SAP roles across the country) corporate recruiter (filling internal recruiter and sales positions), and as a technical recruiter working on a variety of IT positions.
Recruiter

Linium

(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Staffing and Recruiting industry)

June 2004 — March 2006 (1 year 10 months)

Linium's consulting practice engages in implementations of HP (formerly Peregrine) enterprise infrastructure management solutions. In addition to directly recruiting for our requirements, I spent a good deal of time pipelining this fairly narrow (and high demand) skill set in order to shorten the recruiting cycle and increase referrals, as well as build brand awareness.

Besides recruiting consultants for Linium's Peregrine practice, I made numerous placements at several NYS & NYC government agencies, and for private sector clients ranging from small Albany-based firms to nationally recognized companies.

Albany International

(Public Company; 5001-10,000 employees; AIN; Paper & Forest Products industry)
