In 1983, while attending CCNY part-time for architecture, I was working full-time for a recruitment firm. There I was given the opportunity to place talent in construction and engineering positions. Although I did receive my B.S. in Architecture in 1984, I discovered that recruitment was my true passion.
My architectural knowledge has been an invaluable resource in my career. I share similar credentials with the people I represent. We speak the same language. That affords me the unique ability to fully understand how their businesses operate and the positions they are seeking to fill. It is also an invaluable tool in accurately evaluating the credentials of the candidates. I pride myself on finding the perfect fit – for both employers and applicants.
As a result, many of my clients and job applicants consider me to be not only a trusted recruitment advisor, but their friend. We keep in touch, and indeed there are candidates that have found jobs throughout their entire careers solely through my efforts. In fact, many of the people I have placed in jobs, over the years, have gone on to hire people from my company years later.
I view my work as a creative process. Depending on the economy, there are times when there are more jobs than qualified people. Other times, there are more people looking for work than there are available jobs. It is my responsibility to navigate through present options in a way that will satisfy both an employer’s and an employee’s needs.
