I help jobseekers rediscover their value...and land roles they actually want.

For 20+ years, I’ve been on the other side of the hiring table: recruiting, interviewing, and working directly with hiring managers. I know what gets noticed, what gets ignored, and how decisions are really made. That’s what makes me different: I don’t guess what recruiters want; I *am* a recruiter, and I’ve gotten people hired in every kind of market...including this one.

Whether you’re struggling to get interviews, making a pivot, or trying to bounce back after a layoff, I’ll give you straightforward strategy and tools that actually work: resumes that highlight your impact, LinkedIn profiles that get found, and job search strategies that cut through the noise.

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start showing up as the best version of yourself, on paper, online, and in interviews, I can help.

Senior Account Executive

Kforce Inc.

I was originally recruited to Kforce during their Source Edp days to help build the Grand Rapids branch office from just a satellite location of Detroit.   I was part of a small team that took that satellite office and built it into an Award Winning branch of its own.  Often out performing much larger Branch locations in more traditional job markets.

My duties at Kforce included - Sales, Business Development, Account Management, and Recruiting (Full Desk).  

I focused primarily on Information Technology roles and Human Resources positions.  Our Team invented the "mixed-model" of staffing for Source Edp, where we supplied Candidates for both permanent hire roles and contracting roles using the same staff, supplying Candidates using any model a Client or Candidate required.

Talent Partner / Senior Account Manager / Senior Technology Recruiter

Source Edp (Source Services Corp)

Source Edp was one of the first full-service staffing firms specializing in Information Technology.  

Their unique business model centered around hiring their own Recruiting & Sales Staff exclusively from Candidates that had worked hands-on in either the Information Technology or the Accounting Industries.

Their hiring practice was unique in that only former IT Professionals and former Accounting Professionals were hired and then cross-trained in Human Resources, Recruiting, Staffing, and Consultative Sales.  

They focused initially on permanent hire roles in IT and Finance (contingency Search) and later added IT Consulting to their service offering.  

The firm was founded in 1962 by two Computer Professionals during the Technology Industry's first major growth period.  Source Edp had more than 50 offices in the U.S. and one in Canada when it was acquired by Romac International in 1998.  

In 1999, Romac changed the combined company name to Kforce.com leveraging Technology to automate Staffing at the height of the .Com boom.

The company was later renamed to Kforce, removing the .com reference, since they were always a brick & mortar company.
