About Kandi Johnston

With over 12 years of work experience in the recruiting industry, I am a senior technical recruiter at Ford Motor Company, where I leverage my skills in customer engagement, employee training, and customer service management to attract and retain the best tech talent for the automotive giant. I have a bachelor\'s degree in science and a certification in cloud security essentials, which gives me an edge in sourcing and assessing candidates with high-demand skills in cloud computing and cybersecurity. Prior to joining Ford, I was a senior technical recruiter at McAfee, where I helped grow the company\'s global technical workforce by 15% in one year, and a senior talent acquisition specialist at Kloud Recruiting, where I managed a portfolio of over 50 clients in the cloud industry. I am passionate about connecting people with their dream jobs, and I strive to create a positive and inclusive candidate experience that reflects the values and culture of the organizations I work with.
