Experience with cold calling, active sourcing on various platforms such as LinkedIn, Indeed, Monster, CareerBuilder, and Job Diva. Sat in on vendor calls with clients, completed reference checks with hiring managers, and tried generating new business relationships. Recruited for both direct placements as well as contract roles. Continuously building upon my knowledge of the financial industry as with agency recruiting, we move to different roles throughout the week. Based on performance, I was chosen to work exclusively on the dedicated system account that my company has with Morgan Stanley for roles throughout the US. Comfortable building great relationships with my coworkers as well as my consultants. During my little time in this role, I already have 10 consultants on billing. My largest deal brought in $35,000 to the company’s profit margin.
