Stephanie H. Wise’s Experience

Executive Vice President and Account Development Director

The Engineering Connection

(Staffing and Recruiting industry)

March 1997 — Present (11 years 8 months)

As a seasoned Recruiter and Account Executive, I manage the entire recruiting process from cradle to grave with clients ~ I handle my own sourcing of candidates (typically "passive" job seekers), present the profiles to clients with a comprehensive addendum, manage the interview process, conduct reference checks and negotiate the offer. Once the individual is on board with our client, we maintain contact with him/her and ensure that they are satisfied with the opportunity and promote employee retention.

Specializing in the high tech vertical ~ extensive market research is necessary to keep up to date with the current technologies. I also network with a small but hand selected group of colleagues (who share my approach to recruiting) which allows me to foster relationships with others beyond my direct network.
