I've been recruiting for well over a decade. From staffing to startups to big tech like PayPal, Venmo, Braintree and LinkedIn. I've had some heavy workloads and some wild hiring goals but NEVER have I had the goals that GEICO is looking to get to. We're already moving into Tech (ask around, we're making our mark and paying accordingly 😉) SO, my friends at TikTok, Tesla, PayPal, LinkedIn, Google and SO many more. Reach out to me. I can help. I know I have plenty of connections with y'all at these companies and layoffs are hard. I've been there. I'm hiring. This message needs to go viral. Not for me, but for others. I repeat, I can help. So, please... like, comment for reach, and SHARE SHARE SHARE!!! GEICO is doing things you wouldn't have even imagined an "insurance" company to do. Share this for folks who have been impacted. Let's see how many people we can help. #hiring #geicotech #opensource #data #engineering

To anyone navigating the challenges of remote work and looking for connection: Working remotely has dramatically reshaped our professional lives, bringing both freedom and an unexpected sense of isolation. 🏠 As someone passionate about Talent Acquisition, I found myself missing the dynamic interactions that office environments often foster. 🌍 To bridge this gap, I turned to LinkedIn, not just to network, but to share my expertise and engage deeply with the TA community. 🤝 Through my posts, I've shared insights and best practices in Talent Acquisition, hoping to foster dialogue and exchange ideas. 📘 What began as a way to connect and contribute turned into an incredible journey of meeting amazing individuals. 🚀 The generosity of those who took time to engage with my content, offer their perspectives, and share their stories has been overwhelming and profoundly impactful. 🌟 These interactions have enriched my professional journey and provided a sense of community that has been crucial for my mental well-being. 💼🧠 The connections made have gone beyond mere professional networking, offering personal support and deepening my understanding of the diverse experiences within our field. 🌐 Moreover, I’ve made concerted efforts to bolster my mental health by integrating more personal activities. 🏃‍♂️👨‍👩‍👧 Regular physical exercise, spending quality time with family, and enjoying walks with my wife have all played a significant role in maintaining balance. 🌳 Counselling has also been instrumental, providing a space to voice and work through the challenges of remote work and isolation. 🗣️ As I see loads of posts during Mental Health Awareness Week, I am reminded of the strength found in community and the importance of open dialogue. 💬 Whether it’s through sharing professional insights or personal struggles, our interactions can be a powerful tool for support and growth. 🛠️ Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey. 🙏 Your openness and willingness to connect have not only helped me navigate these times but have also highlighted the enduring power of community in our increasingly digital world. 🌍 #mentalhealthawareness #openness #support #community

I wasn't thinking Resume Reviews would hit the way it has! 🤯🫢 So many folks have gotten instant success, just like Tori after having me thoroughly review their resume. Tori's comment in one of my YouTube Lives is just some of the amazing feedback I've gotten (pictured here). Many ask me to revamp and recreate their resume. Totally something I CAN do but I prefer not to do. Folks have said that by me giving them a thorough video recorded resume review, they have: 🥸 Laarned out to speak to their skills better and seen that reflected in their interviewing skills ‼️ Gotten clarity on which roles their skills best fit for 👉🏾 Identified exactly what their transferrable skills are 👏🏾 Gotten interviews immediately after using their updated resume 👀 Been introduced to tools and resum writing techniques to help them elevate their resume These are the top reasons that I no longer recreate resumes. I prefer to "teach a person how to fish so they can eat for their rest of their lives". Ok, I'm going to be real transparent here because I know HR, not marketing. 🤷🏽‍♀️ So here goes.... Client testimonials and feedbacks have given ME clarity on pain points and how to share how MY resume reviews can propel others' careers. Yep, I'm just a transparent HR leader and entrepreneur that doesn't mind telling you that I started this service and initally got little interest because I simply didn't know how to "market" this service. Resume Reviews have even given me clarity how Resume Reviews helps others AND on how to improve Heyyy HR's career mentoring programs. 👉🏾 Click the link below to get started with having your resume reviewed. #Resume #JobSearch #HR #Interviews #HeyyyHR

In recruiting, candidate drop-offs during the interview process are a frustrating roadblock. (Want to keep top talent engaged? Here’s what worked for me.) Here’s how we used data to tackle the issue: Analyzed Drop-off Patterns: We identified key stages in the interview process where candidates were dropping out. The data revealed that long response times and unclear next steps were major contributors. 📉 Streamlined Communication: By automating follow-up emails and introducing clear, time-bound updates at every stage, we reduced response times by 60%. 🕒 Candidate Experience Optimization: We revamped the interview process to include pre-interview guides and real-time feedback, improving the candidate experience and engagement significantly. 🚀 Takeaway: A data-driven approach to candidate engagement can dramatically improve retention throughout the interview process, keeping top talent in the pipeline. #DataDrivenRecruiting #CandidateExperience #TechRecruiting #LatAmTalent #TalentRetention #RecruitmentInnovation #Automation #TechHiring
