More about Sharon

I am a passionate Sourcer (I am NOT a Recruiter) who loves to research and find unique and innovative ways to identify talent, as well as build relationships. Frequently, I read articles, join sourcing groups, attend SourceCon and use "deliberate practice" to improve as a Sourcer. I truly believe that the ability to utilize technical, creative, and critical thinking skills is essential to being a great Sourcer. Not only do I enjoy acquiring as much knowledge as I can, but I share what I know; this includes having the pleasure of training recruiting & sourcing teams on effective sourcing techniques through various methods including via social media.

I have experience sourcing for high volume and hard-to-fill roles in various industries (e.g. start-ups, manufacturing, engineering, automotive, consumer products, gaming, human resources, marketing, sales, information technology (IT), materials management, Fintech, pharmaceuticals/life sciences, insurtech, veterinary and health-tech roles).
