Sr. Sourcer/Recruiter at TechKlix
San Francisco Bay Area
"At the end of the day, it's all about the people."
As a recruiter, people are the focus of my work, from those on my team that I'm collaborating with, to the hiring managers. And lest I neglect to mention the most important of all, the candidate, hoping that I will assist them in finding that next great opportunity that will accelerate their career development, their visibility within their company and their personal value to the organization.
I seek to aid in creating new relationships and benefiting each party as I work to help construct and create new business opportunities.
