  Collabera

  Jan 2016 - Dec 2016

  From June 1st to early December I served as an account manager, locating, meeting, and supplying clients with the talented individuals they needed to grow their businesses. This involved cold calling, office visits, lunch meetings, sporting events, and always maintaining a professional warmth that a relationship of trust and communication can be built on. I have personally overseen Fortune 10, 100, and 500 clients and prospects and contributed to the Portland office’s growth from the beginning to over $20,000 in weekly spread in only 11 months. Show less In my 93 days as an Associate Technical Recruiter I dove head first into the industry and built a solid foundation of skills and accomplishments that I can be proud of. Key achievements include• Set the record for one of the largest hires in the 20-year history of the company within 2 months of joining• Provided almost all of the office's income for the first several months and closed out the quarter contributing more than 33% of the income for the team of seven.• Got the second successful start in the Portland office and the first at a Fortune 10 company.• Achieved the 16th highest spread out of a region of 78 recruiters.
