With thirty years of experience recruiting in the NYC corporate marketplace, I am well-versed in the dynamics of both sides of the career-change equation. 
I have guided countless job seekers through the process of looking for a new position. In addition to developing a vision for both short- and long-term career goals, I am able to help create a professional resume, prepare for interviews, manage follow-up communication, negotiate compensation, tender resignations, and seamlessly transition into a new role.
I have also partnered with hundreds of hiring officials across a broad range of industries, in organizations that range from small start-ups to large global corporations, to define hiring needs and processes. Along with the client, I develop job descriptions, create or refine hiring processes, review interview content, negotiate compensation packages, and coordinate onboarding new hires.
