Sr. Recruiter at Creative Alignments - Specializing in Early-Stage, High-Growth Food/Bev & Consumer Goods

Boulder, Colorado

I partner with emerging CPG and natural food & beverage brands such as CAULIPOWER, Farmer's Fridge, RXBAR, among many others, in their hiring efforts. Creative Alignments is the leader in Time-Based Recruiting®, a client-centric recruiting model that simply charges for the time it takes to find the best talent. By not charging commissions or high-priced retainers, we're able to build a collaborative, transparent partnership with clients, and work as an extension of their team. This hourly billing model is often half the cost of traditional recruiting, while delivering better results and a better experience. We specialize in the natural products/CPG and technology industries.

Upon a successful acquisition of SolidFire and a few months at Techstars, I decided to take time off to play. I studied Italian, read the classics, traveled around the country and to Italy, gallivanted around Colorado, and simply stopped to smell the roses.

In January 2015, I became the Recruiter for our Ops and Admin team and focused primarily on Supply Chain, Finance, and HR roles. During late Spring of 2015, I switched over to Marketing and managed the hiring for that division. At this time I also took on our University Recruiting and Relations program and facilitated the build-out of our summer internship program.

Through cause marketing, RFCBC works to raise money for kids who are at risk of abuse and neglect in Boulder County. RFCBC partners with Boulder County businesses to provide youth with funding for education, emergency needs, as well as special youth opportunities. My position was a catch-all in which I helped plan and execute events/fundraisers, I created and disseminated newsletters, managed member and donor files, and networked with the community at Chamber events in order to leverage the RFCBC brand.
