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.  While not working I do HR Consulting  on the side, which is what I am doing now since being released from my previous employer in January of this year.  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 HR Consulting 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 our clients.  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 four major 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!

In lines of corporate compliance – this in my book includes handbooks, policies and procedures, etc. I have developed 4 new handbooks since January for businesses and have revamped several others.

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.
