01 What I do
Talent acquisition, end to end.
Sourcing through Dice, Monster and an internal database — working exclusively with implementation partners and preferred vendors, and understanding the requirement and client-specific needs before a single profile moves.

Full life cycle recruiting
Sourcing, screening, contacting, confirming, interviewing and placing the qualified consultant — one accountable owner from first outreach through to the submitted profile.
02
Contract & contract-to-hire
Contract, contract-to-hire and permanent positions — including H1B holders, Green Card holders and citizens on constrained and complicated requirements.
03
IT & technical recruiting
Sixteen technical disciplines covered in practice, from Java and Salesforce developers through data engineering, security and infrastructure.
04
Screening & rate negotiation
Phone screens, interviews and reference checks, plus discussion with the consultant or vendor on skill set and rate — W2, C2C or 1099 — before anything reaches the account manager.
