ABOUT DAVID BOYD
I’m a Talent Acquisition professional with a strong background supporting high-volume and hard-to-fill roles, currently working within a municipal environment in Detroit.Most of my experience has been focused on full-cycle recruiting — partnering with hiring managers, building pipelines from scratch, and finding ways to move faster without sacrificing quality. I’ve worked across a mix of roles and have gotten comfortable navigating challenges like limited talent pools, process inefficiencies, and competing priorities.What I enjoy most is being more than just a recruiter. I like being involved in the bigger picture — improving hiring processes, advising managers, and helping teams think more strategically about talent.I’m currently exploring opportunities where I can step into a more senior or lead capacity, continue growing on the business side (HRBP path), and expand into areas like technical recruiting.Open to:• Senior / Lead Recruiter roles• Talent Acquisition Partner opportunities• HR Business Partner roles• Technical Recruiting opportunitiesBased in the Detroit area and open to remote, hybrid, or on-site roles.
