My success record of developing strong partnerships with local community colleges and universities has led to recruiting A-level talent into entry level positions. I have turned business challenges into success stories by implementing innovative college recruitment techniques. Read more about some of my successful initiatives below:
Business Problem: Company faced many challenges in the recruitment of qualified culinary staff for its buffets, restaurants, cafes, and steakhouses due to a competitive market and lack of brand awareness.
Solution: Project Chef. An innovative culinary competition between local culinary schools that led to a stronger on-campus employment brand and improving the quality of hires while reducing 90-day turnover.
Business Problem: Company was challenged in the recruitment of recent graduates for their Customer Support department (feeder group to other departments) due to the position title and a lack of brand awareness.
Solution: Created an infographic that showed attention-grabbing statistics that changed candidates' perspectives on the job title.
Business Problem #3: Company experienced difficulties recruiting high-caliber talent in the Accounting and Finance functions due to a strong recruitment presence from the Big 4 Accounting firms at top 10 business schools.
Solution: Developed a rotational development program that offered a strong alternative to a career in the Big 4 Accounting firms. For more information about this initiative click here.
