Resource Development Manager (IT Recruiter)
Was responsible for finding, screening, and submitting candidates for IT job opportunities . The positions I recruited for included developers, engineers, systems architects, analysts, and IT support staff. Used tools like LinkedIn Recruiter and Bullhorn to conduct keyword and boolean searches. In order to get the best results (candidates), you have to find the best keywords similar to identifying SEO keywords when attempting to get to the top of the Google search engine.
