About Leshan Witherspoon

My approach to recruiting and acquiring talent is based on putting the right people together with the right opportunity. I focus on making sure that knowledge, skills, and experience along with culture of the candidate are aligned with that of the organization. I do this by building and maintaining a strong network of talented professionals and organizations who seek to add to their teams. Relationships are my secret sauce.Over the course of my career, I\'ve supported a variety of industries (government contracting, retail, healthcare, financial services.), verticals (IT, supply chain, sales, marketing, HR, engineering, finance, security services, scientific research.), and levels from internship to senior executive. If I haven\'t done it, I can learn it is my mantra and has served me well.I am passionate about DEI, social recruiting, employer branding, and TA strategy. Recruiting is as much about retention and engagement as it is sourcing and screening. I am always open to expanding my network so feel free to reach out to connect here on LinkedIn. Be sure to include a quick note on how I can help!
