I am a Certified Personnel Consultant and am based out of Milwaukee, WI where I have been working in HR for over 5 years. I am a huge social media fan and have learned how to use them not only for personal use but also for business use. Currently I am looking for a full time job and have been keeping busy doing temporary human resource assisgnments for businesses since being laid off in January of 2009. These projects have been all over Wisconsin and Northern Illinois and I am willing to travel farther. I have experience working with startup firms to firms with over a thousand employees. The temporary projects that I have worked on have been in all sorts of fields with the majority of them being in Healthcare/Senior Living and manufacturing.
I am an expert in many areas of HR but there are two that I am a specialist in: Corporate Compliance (handbooks, policies and procedures, etc.) and Recruiting. In my previous position I oversaw all corporate and external recruiting and employment consulting for an executive recruiting firm. I was responsible for all new employee orientations, paperwork, etc. While I was there I managed a staff of three recruiters and trained them. When the economy started to shift the company had several clients completely shut their doors and I was released shortly after. I am very successful at recruiting (Turnover ratio is 3% over the past 4 years) and want to help businesses develop a solid recruiting plan that works!
I also have experience in employee relations, union prevention, FMLA, benefits, payroll, time and attendance, and some safety but I am not an expert.
Now that you know a little about me, please visit back often and check my social networking site when I post a new blog posting. I have links to two of the sites underneath my picture the other two are Meetup and Facebook.
