About
Hi! I’m a Talent Acquisition Partner in the HealthTech industry with prior experience working in Customer Service and Public Relations.
My varied professional background has provided me with first-hand knowledge on how to go about exploring your career options, and also how to transition through significant career changes.
Rebecca’s Career Stories
In layperson terms, what do you actually do at work?
As a Talent Acquisition Partner, I help to identify, attract, and recruit the top talent within technical engineering markets. This means I write up job descriptions, search for qualified candidates, consult hiring managers on interview best practices, as well as coordinate negotiations when a candidate reaches offer stages.
How did you pick your career? Did you know all along?
I'd been interested in Human Resources for a long time, however what ultimately prevented me from being able to enter this field sooner was my lack of a college degree, which most Human Resources roles require. It wasn't until I was 32 that I finally graduated from college and was able to enter into this field with a focus on Talent Acquisition and Workforce Planning. I've known I've wanted to be in this field for a long time but it took me a great deal of time, patience, and exploring other fields before I was able to break into this industry.
