Tim O'Connor ’s Summary

Tim O’Connor is a talent acquisition consultant, strategist, and speaker originally from Northampton, Massachusetts, now residing in Steep Falls, Maine. Mr. O’Connor is the Strategic Sourcing Lead for Capgemini North America, one of the largest IT Consulting Firms in the World, with over 80,000 employees located in 75 countries. In his current role Tim was brought on to create and implement Capgemini’s first ever Strategic Passive Sourcing Program. He was also brought on to manage the existing Sourcing Team in Kolkata India, which is responsible for developing both active and passive pipelining for NA recruiting. Mr. O’Connor made several trips to Kolkata to work with the team in person to deliver in-depth training and conduct reviews of the team’s performance.
