Staffing Consultant

Scaled-up Ominture's tech org before their big push to go public. I was brought on to (dramatically) speed up hiring in EPD. Inheriting teams that were averaging of one hire / six months, I revamped most of their screening and interview processes and closed 39 EPD candidate out of 42 offers (working 20-30 hours/week on avg). I was offered an FTE role but declined it.
