Steve Rath - [LION 3.2K+]’s Summary

Highly motivated and results-driven IT Recruiting / Research / Staffing Management professional with a proven record utilizing a diverse background of recruiting, sales, management, and IT consulting. Recruiting experiences with International Game Technology (IGT), Microsoft, Home Depot, Manhattan Associates, Autodesk (HSL), and various staffing agencies based in Atlanta, GA and Austin, TX.

Prior to my recruiting experience I was a former developer/techy working as a consultant for IBM, Georgia-Pacific (G-P), and The Coca-Cola Company. Having that blend of technical background combined with my extensive recruiting/staffing experience has provided me with the tools to be very successful in my field.

As a recruiter it has become ever so clear the power of networking. I am truly just a piece of the puzzle. As others have mentioned in their profiles, I'm here to assist if I can be of assistance. If I can be part of someones life changing experience, then why not... If you'd like to be part of my network, just ask - I will not respond with "I do not know you"... steve_rath@yahoo.com
