Watertown, Minnesota, United States
With 15 years of experience across various Talent Acquisition and Marketing roles, I leverage my experience to ensure our Sourcing and Marketing teams engage and attract top-tier talent that will be in it for the long haul. Our success lies in creativity, thoroughness, and collaboration within our UHC and Optum teams as well as with all of the businesses (and stakeholders) that we support. We use data-driven strategies and are constantly checking past work for improvements while leveraging technological advancements (hello, AI!). I fully believe in being transparent and clear with my team as well as the leaders I partner with. It's the only way to work together toward the overall goal of supporting our businesses and bringing the best talent here. We do this through regular check-ins, always perfecting the best practices of the Sourcer and Recruiter partnership and being honest with where we can improve to be a well-oiled machine. I love what I do and believe that shines through in the work! Please reach out if you're interested in connecting, I'm always looking to network! #talentacquisition #recruiting #sourcing #marketing #leadership #UGC #ai #artificialintelligence #taleo #salesforce #copilot #chatgpt #optum #unitedhealthcare #unitedhealthgroup
