With over 15 years of experience in technical recruiting, I am passionate about connecting talented and diverse candidates with exciting and innovative opportunities at Apple. My core competencies include sourcing, interviewing, talent acquisition, and university relations. I thrive in a fast-paced and collaborative environment, where I can leverage my communication, analytical, and interpersonal skills to support the growth and development of Apple\'s engineering and operations teams. As a Corporate Recruiter at Apple, I manage and execute full life-cycle recruitment strategy for teams such as, Manufacturing Design Engineering, Software Engineering, Environmental Health & Safety, and Real Estate & Development. I collaborate with hiring managers, directors, and executive leaders to determine job requirements, recruiting strategies, and compensation structure. I also partner with hiring teams to build effective sourcing, selection, and closing approaches, with an ability to manage candidate and client expectations through a deep understanding of value-added recruitment activities. Additionally, I have built and maintained a network of potential candidates through proactive market research and ongoing relationship management. Furthermore, I have developed and executed a comprehensive university relations program, focused on attracting and retaining top talent from diverse backgrounds and disciplines for Apple\'s operations and software engineering roles.
