About Kayla Lockett

Experienced Technical Recruiter with a demonstrated history of success in staffing for industries including (but not limited to) Engineering, IT, and Human Resources. I enjoy both the puzzle of sourcing candidates for positions, as well as the person-to-person contact of discussing those opportunities with the candidates once we connect. I work hard to develop a strong relationship with my clients and my candidates, and seek to find candidates that meet my client’s needs based on their specific requirements. I began my journey as an Assistant Recruiter with Visium, and thanks to the guidance of an excellent team have been able to progress into a Technical Recruiter role with Account Management duties as well as serving as the Assistant Facility Security Officer holding an Active Secret Clearance. My passion is successfully connecting the right candidate with the right situation, in order to fully satisfy both candidate and client needs. I am always happy to help!
