Sourcing and Talent Acquisition at Walmart

As a Spiritual Director I'm concerned with helping others find and respond to God in the midst of burdens, challenges, as well as in the rest of life.

Our mission is to guide Christian leaders on a deeper journey with Christ by helping them learn to live, love and lead like Jesus. We believe that being a leader in your work, in your church, or in your family is a high calling. But we also know that being a leader is difficult. It comes with a whole set of demands and pressures that can often feel overwhelming. Leaders can easily spend so much time caring for others that they lose track of caring for their own souls.

Senior Recruitment Consultant

In 2019 I created the first voice job search tool available on Amazon Alexa and Google Voice. Job seekers simply used the skill to ask for a job they were interested in by providing the job title, location or name of the company. Instead of a boring job description they received an actual recording from the hiring manager, recruiter and sometimes senior and executive leadership talk about the opeing and their company. If the job seeker liked what they heard they say "text me" and receive a link to apply directly to their phone. 

The newest go-to destination for researching companies and careers. Hear from the hiring leaders themselves.
