About Timothy Justin Murdock

With over 14 years of work experience in the entertainment and transportation industries, I am a versatile and adaptable recruiting operations manager with a passion for talent acquisition, screening, and interviewing. I have a background in musical theatre, which gives me a creative and expressive edge in communicating and collaborating with different stakeholders and candidates. I am driven by the mission of connecting people with meaningful and fulfilling opportunities, and I value diversity, inclusion, and innovation in the workplace.In my most recent role as a recruiting operations manager at U.S. Xpress, Inc, I managed and led a team of 20+ recruiters across the US and Colombia, and served as a liaison between the Executive Vice President, Director of Recruiting, and international partners. I was responsible for the success of the team and the quality of the hiring process, while monitoring key performance indicators such as call volume and quality, monthly hires, and schedule to hire percentages. I maintained proper attendance and punctuality for the department and fostered a positive corporate culture within the department. I leveraged my computer literacy, screening, and interviewing skills to ensure that the best talent was hired for the company.
