As head of Recruiting at EAB, I lead a team of recruiters and coordinators responsible for all talent acquisition activities across the firm, supporting groups including Engineering/Product Development, Technical Services, Delivery, New Product Development, Research, Strategic Marketing, Commercial, and G&A functions.

I joined EAB upon its spin-off from The Advisory Board Company to lead the firm's Technical Recruiting team (Engineering, PM, UX, QA, Data Science), HR vendor partnerships, and job advertising/employer branding strategy. Over time, I also took over ownership of our Content Recruiting team (Research, NPD, Strategic Marketing, and Creative).

At The Advisory Board Company, I focused on connecting our Recruiting teams with the most in-demand, hardest-to-find talent in the world. More specifically, I was: • A full-cycle recruiting lead across all Product Development functions (Software Engineering, User Experience, Product Management, QA, and Data Science). When no one was looking, I moonlighted to fill roles all the way from Legal, to Digital Marketing, to New Product Development. • A sourcing expert deployed against our department's toughest searches and tasked with developing training resources and presentations for our teams. • A project manager for numerous HR system and process implementations, including ATS integrations and recruiting tool utilization. • A strategy advisor to recruiting leadership and their teams, and a labor market researcher for hiring managers and business leaders. • Owner of our department's vendor partnerships, contract negotiations, and associated budgets. • Responsible for firm-wide recruitment marketing and employer branding strategy on several high-traffic web properties and social media profiles.

Program owner of part-time and full-time courses that empower people to pursue the work they love in technology, business, and design. I accomplished this by recruiting the very best practitioners in the field, equipping them with instructional training designed to engage adult learners, and closely monitoring students'​ progress throughout courses to ensure they're achieving their goals. This resulted in regularly meeting or exceeding NPS goal of 55%, including achievement of 100% NP score. Some areas in which I recruited/hired include: Front-end Web Development, Mobile Development, UX Design, Visual Design, Product Management, Digital Marketing, and Analytics. ____ A little about General Assembly: With full-time and part-time courses as well as classes, workshops, and events focused on topics in technology, business and design, GA provides educational opportunities suited for every skill level, lifestyle and budget - all in vibrant learning environments connected to an international network of peers and practitioners.
