Sam Mandolfo’s Experience
-
Sales Manager
LinkedIn
(Privately Held; 201-500 employees; Internet industry)
May 2008 — Present (8 months)
I work with recruiting firms, staffing agencies, RPO's and consulting companies to show them how LinkedIn agency solutions will change the way that they do business today.
We are men and women who want to network, re-connect, and promote our skills and abilities to today's global market place.
Our network is growing at over one million members per month and our tools are replacing other conventional recruitment processes at an exciting rate. The value of our professional network is unmatched. Our tools give businesses the ability to reach outside of their own personal network and communicate with people in a trusted way. -

(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Computer Software industry)

I was responsible for launching a viable commercial consulting practice within an established state and federal government consulting company. My responsibilities included market and office space identification, evaluation and hiring of sales and recruiting staff and overall management of the global commercial consulting operation.
Created the go-to-market strategy to the private sector as well as the marketing plan, execution plan and training methodology. I launched the commercial operation in multiple cities and provided oversight and management of all employees as well as key customers.
My team was instrumental in the creation of the division’s onboarding program, new employee training program, and all associated commercial consulting contracts and collateral. I identified and analyzed multiple world-class applicant tracking systems and launched our relationship and integration with our selected ATS. -
