These efforts culminated in significantly reduced time-to-hire and consistently high satisfaction rates from both hiring managers and placed candidates.

One of my most notable achievements includes the strategic implementation of a targeted talent acquisition strategy that increased candidate retention by 30% and decreased the average time to placement by two weeks.
