15 years of progressive Recruiting and HR experience with emphasis on Healthcare Recruiting. MS in Organizational Leadership candidate (expected graduation: June 2010).

Exceptional ability to develop fundamentally sound recruitment strategy, use creative sourcing techniques and fully understand business requirements.

In addition, I would like to acquire additional skills and experience in HR as well as those in Business Development, Client Relations and Sales. This will come in handy as I lead my new recruiting firm to success.
