About Sam Dickerson

I am a dedicated and passionate talent acquisition leader who is committed to putting people first. I lead my teams to create the best possible candidate and hiring manager experience, thus, ensuring a win-win situation for both the candidate and the company.UPS has afforded me a great deal of opportunity to grow in the world of talent acquisition. Starting as one of the original 3 recruiters on the team I was able to prove myself as an individual contributor, while working independently in a virtual environment. As a result of my success in this role, I was promoted to help lead the team and have managed up to 15 virtual employees at one time, while working remotely. I continue to work with the latest recruiting technology while helping shape the overall vision and social strategy of the team.UPS understands that recruiting top talent outside the organization, while also promoting from within, is vital to the company’s continued success. What started as a small messenger company over 100 years ago, in a 6 by 17 foot office located below a sidewalk in Seattle, WA, has now become the world\'s largest transportation company. The company\'s unique culture, strong commitment to serving our customers, and numerous advancement opportunities, are only a few of the reasons someone should consider working at UPS.
