About Betsy Bernard
Communication is the reduction of uncertainty\"I have 17+ years of experience starting in technology/data storage, cloud technology, software development roles, IT, engineering, research and development, manufacturing and Oil/Gas/Petrochem.MY STRONGEST SKILLSETS • A proven history in constructing scaled for success recruitment strategies reducing time to fill by 30%- roughly from 90+ days down to <60 days for hard to fill positions. • Building consensus and support for new initiatives, projects and collaborating with hiring managers, HRBPs and candidates in a consultative, positive manner. • I am a super team-player and believe that collaboration, communication is the key to success. • I am extremely skilled at maximizing buy-in from all levels and business units for strategic hiring needs within highly matrixed organizations. WHAT I DO BEST: • I am the go-between for the candidate and the hiring manager. • I drive the recruitment process from req creation to my candidates first day. • I speak at least once a week with each of my managers to discuss promising candidates, market conditions and challenges and make recommendations based on what I see in a consultative and innovative way. • I advise my candidates along every step of the way. I am always available via email or text. • I am a trusted consultant, adept sounding board when needed and a reliable mover of obstacles! WHAT I BELIEVE: • It is my professional and ethical responsibility to uphold my candidates needs and the needs of the business in highest regard and to negotiate and advise each party to find that happy place. • Talent Acquisition is a vocation, not just a job - caring about people, the process and finding the best solution to fill a need comes from within.WHAT I PROVIDE: consistent, consultative partnering, value-added market data knowledge and collaborative efforts to my candidates, my team and my hiring managers. And most importantly, the right hire for the job.
