Tech Recruiter - Acquirer of High Performance Talent

RESULTS I DELIVER
• Better quality search results. If you are pitting one firm against another, they will race against each other (for a brief while) to get resumes to you as quickly as possible. Because of the imposed urgency, you are likely to see a number of unqualified resumes. Non-exclusive recruiters often hope to get lucky and hit a match, rather than putting in the effort to screen properly.

•  Deeper and broader search. Committing to one recruiter will allow that recruiter to spend the time to network and headhunt to uncover the very best candidate for your requirements, rather than just pulling resumes out of a database.

•  Less work for the hiring manager. If you are working with multiple search firms, you will get a lot more resumes than you would working with just one recruiter. However, many of those resumes will not match your hiring needs, which just makes more work for the hiring manager. Not to mention time spent sorting out candidate ownership disputes between multiple firms.

•  Better candidate experience. Have you ever received the same resume from more than one recruiter? It can make your company look unprofessional if more than one recruiter interviews a candidate about the same job. And you may see some great candidates back out of the process entirely when multiple firms are involved.

•  Confidentiality. For a confidential search, working with more than one recruiting firm makes no sense. It will be impossible for a recruiter to keep the company name confidential if there are multiple search firms involved.

Software Engineer

Franklin Electronic Publishers

Development of foreign language libraries and programs for the Proximity Technology division, which special emphasis on hyphenation, spelling and word inventories with parts of speech.  The libraries written in portable C language and are designed to support a large number of platforms which in turn are written in C, C++, Java and a number of other languages. Heavy emphasis on compression, access times and the ability to execute on limited hardware such as that encountered in embedded systems. The main development was under RedHat and QA scripts and ported to Windows and I did the ports to the Macintosh environments under both x86 and PowerPC. Heavy emphasis on regression test suites which enables monthly bug free deliveries. Developed tests downstream of the  test suites for code coverage by using the gcov and gprof utilities.

Set up and systems administration of a medium sized Red Hat server installation.  This included migration from a number of earlier Red Hat and Solaris servers, migration of user accounts (400), setups of Samba, NFS and NIS and setup of a second backup server under Centos.  This included daily rsync live data backup.  Set up a backup scheme from the main server to NAS storage (short term) and tape array backup.  Setup of the development tools needed for the project (compilers, version control systems, etc.)  Work with CVS and administration of multiple versions of products in the field.

I was able to leverage my knowledge of French and Russian into a wider applications across the entire Franklin language set.

Enhanced Telephony and Computer Solutions, NYNEX, Bell Atlantic, Verizon

Assignments at NYNEX, NYNEX Mobile and the successor companies, including the mergers with Bell Atlantic and GTE that formed Verizon. The NYNEX (land lines) systems worked with the classic Bell/BellCore derived systems and at NYNEX Mobile worked on the MTAS (Mobile Telephone Activation System) that is still used to interface billing systems to the telephone switches. NYNEX Mobile (and separately Bell Atlantic Wireless) built an entire telephone company from scratch. Experienced telephone personnel (like myself) worked at NYNEX Mobile to design and implement an entire telephone company without using any software derived from the land line side of the business. Mostly I used C, Informix and various communications tools to interface to three different billing systems (due to the merges) and a variety of telephone switches, voice mail units, voice activated dialing units, paging and digital mail systems. I went to NYNEX Mobile when the number of users was under one million and when the assignment ended there were 7.7 million customers.

I have worked for large companies and small ones.  Zigging back and forth is good because in small companies I got to do the project myself, and then when I got an assignment at a larger company, I could apply the techniques either being able to show the other team members how, or do an expanded version in cooperation with a larger team.

Specialties: Computer Science, Telecommunications, Linguistics, Chemistry.
