   Nov 2021 — Present · Charlotte, NC, US

   In my role as a Lead Talent Acquisition Specialist at IEM, my responsibilities include collaborating closely with hiring managers throughout the hiring process to develop job requisitions and recruiting plans. I manage surge recruiting needs and develop local candidate pipelines in the Emergency Management field. My duties involve evaluating applicant resumes, screening candidates, and coordinating interviews. I generate candidate offer letters and ensure the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is updated at all times. I represent IEM, promoting its mission and culture to applicants. Additionally, I demonstrate a strong knowledge of recruitment practices, including effective surge recruiting, advanced sourcing skills, and competitive compensation practices. My role requires flexibility, resilience, and the ability to manage multiple concurrent recruiting tasks while maintaining a sense of urgency and being results-driven.
