About Josh Jacobs

Welcome to my professional rollercoaster! I\'m not your run-of-the-mill pro; I\'m a seasoned expert brimming with passion for leadership, talent acquisition (aka recruiting), and digital marketing – and trust me, my enthusiasm could power a small city! With over 15 years of high-level management experience in full-cycle recruiting, I\'ve made it my mission to pave the way for both organizations and individuals to thrive.My journey kicked off in the US Army, where I dedicated a whopping 20 years of my life to serving our nation with solid commitment. I earned an honorable discharge and hold an active secret clearance, proving that my dedication knows no bounds. When I made the transition to the civilian sector, I dove headfirst into Clements Worldwide. As the Global Recruiting Manager at Clements Worldwide, I\'ve assumed the role of conductor for the entire global recruiting symphony, orchestrating harmonious recruitment efforts spanning the US, UK, UAE, and Ireland. I even introduced a brand-new applicant tracking system (ATS), affectionately known as Greenhouse. Call me the Greenhouse Guru if you will! I streamlined processes, reimagined job descriptions, and retooled platforms to create a candidate experience that makes hearts skip a beat.But hold onto your hats; there\'s more to the story! My expertise isn\'t confined to talent acquisition; I\'m also a digital marketing and social media expert. I\'ve harnessed these skills to fine-tune online advertising campaigns, churn out leads like nobody\'s business, and rocket search placement results to the top. I\'m not just a one-trick pony; I\'m more like a Swiss Army Knife of skills and talents. And did I mention that I\'ve got a Bachelor ‘s in Computer Information Systems, complete with Summa Cum Laude honors? Plus, I\'ve undergone specialized training in leadership and recruiting operations because, well, why settle for mediocrity when you can shoot for the stars?Oh, and let\'s not forget the accolades – I\'ve clinched the Officer Award at Clements Worldwide, and my time in the Army was adorned with medals that could rival even the Avengers. Just to keep things spicy, I recently honed my skills further by completing the Google Digital Marketing & E-commerce Certificate program. Because, you know, who can resist a little extra knowledge?And if you\'ve made it this far, congratulations! You\'ve officially joined the exclusive club of people who have read this far.#Leadership #TalentAcquisition #DigitalMarketing #Recruiting #ATSDevelopment #SocialMediaMarketing #StrategicPlanning #MilitaryVeteran
