About MacKenzie Ewing

I find great people and find them fulfilling careers. It all begins with a conversation, which leads to uncovering the values and desires that encourage them to make a career move. I am a Lead Growth Recruiter with experience working in Department of Defense (U.S. Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, Army), Intelligence Community, Federal Health and Civilian agencies. I am passionate about growing teams, working with veterans and placing people in positions where they can succeed. I am experienced with full life cycle recruiting, strategic sourcing, proposal recruiting, staffing plans and providing pricing data. If you are looking for a job in Information Technology, Cyber Security, Logistics or Engineering, please send over a connection request with a note! Even if you are not actively in the job market, I\'d love to connect with you to see how working with each other can benefit you in the future.
