I have in-depth experience as a Cleared Space Senior Recruiter at Stillwater Human Capital, where I collaborated closely with VPs, Directors, Managers, and their teams to achieve their hiring objectives in the DOD and other governmental / non-governmental agencies seeking candidates with high clearance levels, such as Top Secret/Full Scope Poly. I have broad recruiting knowledge in Software Development and Engineering (SDE), Cyber Security, Information Technology (IT), Information Assurance (IA), and more. I have also worked as a Staffing Manager at Randstad USA, where I hired mid to senior level employees throughout the United States for various industries and sectors.
