As the Resource Manager/Recruiter for CBMA, I am a primary point of contact for all recruitment related matters, to include all communications with our contract staffing company partners, and with the CBMA hiring managers (my clients). My duties include routinely identifying candidates for hourly contract, temporary to hire, and perm opportunities (exempt and nonexempt) with CBM of America on a national level. Recruiting strategies to source active and passive candidates include: the CBMA resumes database, “cold calling”, word of mouth, social media, and online advertising and databases (Monster, LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, Zip Recruiter, CareerBuilder, and Telecom Careers). I conduct “full life cycle” recruiting on a daily basis. This includes collaborating with hiring managers, sourcing, screening, interviewing, reference checks, creating formal offers of employment, guiding new hires, periodically checking on recent hires progress, and off boarding resources. Common openings include: Telecom Inside Plant (ISP) Engineers (i.e. Detail Engineers/Equipment Engineers, Site Survey Engineers, Network Engineers), ISP Installers and Technicians (mostly Data Center, Central Office, and Wireless - MTSO), Outside Plant (OSP) Fiber Splicers/Fiber Characterization Technicians, and all CBMA staff level openings – which include Warehouse Associates, various back office personnel, Human Resource professionals, Information Technology professionals, and all levels of Management. Other duties include leading a team of nine Statement of Work employees (time card approvals, vacation approvals, etc.), training new team members as required, and acting as a member of the CBMA Sustainability and Environmental Committee. I also assist with the completion of our annual Ecovadis survey and lead our on going Avetta requirements.
