About Kat Eaton

As a Recruiter, I have two major customers: The Business I support and Candidates. If you\'ve found a disconnect between your Recruiting team\'s efforts and successfully onboarding the right talent, it\'s likely because 1 or both of those customers are not treated as the most valuable client. Let me expand on that further.The BUSINESS is my customer. This means, I obsess over their success and work backwards from their end goal. Not just in the immediate, but to ensure long term success. I seek to understand the business\'s structure, growth plan, and standard operation. Their pain points are typically solved by their team member\'s innovation. Ultimately, the people I bring on board are going to solve those challenges. The better I understand the intricate workings and goals of the team, the more effective hiring processes and strategies I can put in place to deliver the highest quality team members. Ultimately, driving success for the business and company as a whole.The CANDIDATE is my customer. Their experience during the interview process and all interactions with the company\'s employees will set the tone for their entire view of the organization. Invest in them and they will invest significantly more in your company. Tell them what\'s expected of them, provide them the tools to deliver, and see what they make of it. Candidates that feel their time and work is truly valued and invested in, turn into employees that produce passion-driven results and broader impact-About Amazon Web Services:Launched in 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began exposing key infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services - now widely known as cloud computing. The ultimate benefit of cloud computing, and AWS, is the ability to leverage a new business model and turn capital infrastructure expenses into variable costs. Businesses no longer need to plan and procure servers and other IT resources weeks or months in advance. Using AWS, businesses can take advantage of Amazon\'s expertise and economies of scale to access resources when their business needs them, delivering results faster and at a lower cost.
