01 About
Hiring is a people problem before it is a résumé problem.
I run full-cycle technical recruiting at Proliance Consulting — sourcing, screening, interview prep, offer negotiation and onboarding — for contract, contract-to-hire and direct hire roles. I partner with hiring managers and account teams to work out what a role actually needs, then go find the person who fits it.
Because for both employers and employees, it’s never just about finding the right title; it’s about finding the right fit.
Before staffing I spent years in operating rooms as a Certified Surgical Technologist, ran patient care and clinic operations at a multi-specialty practice, sold medical devices to vascular surgeons, and worked high-volume restaurant floors. Different rooms, same job: read people quickly, earn their trust, and keep everybody moving.

-
01
Understand the role
Partner with hiring managers and account teams on hiring strategy, workforce needs and market insight — before a single résumé goes out.
-
02
Source the market
LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, networking and referrals, plus talent pipelines built long before the req opened.
-
03
Screen for all three
Technical skill, communication, and cultural fit. A candidate who clears only the first one is not a match.
-
04
Prepare and advocate
Interview prep for candidates, honest feedback for clients, and offer negotiation handled so both sides say yes for the right reasons.
-
05
Close and onboard
Reference checks, skills assessments and pre-employment activities through to onboarding — then the relationship keeps going.
Sarah was super energetic, professional, and responsive. I was impressed how she went the extra mile from interview prep to follow-up.

04 Why it lands
Interview prep and follow-up are the two things candidates say they never get. They are also the two things that decide whether a placement sticks — which is why they are not optional here.
05 Background
Fifteen years of reading people.
Operating rooms, clinic front desks, surgical sales territories and busy restaurant floors — every one of them a job where you get about ninety seconds to work out what someone actually needs.
