I have been involved in the nonprofit sector professionally, and have been active as a volunteer for many years. I am a co-founder of DialogueDirect Inc., involved in both the research and implementation phases. I have been the driving factor behind raising DialogueDirect's profile via the internet, and utilizing advanced technologies to enable me to recruit fundraisers en masse.
DialogueDirect Inc. began as a two person operation, and over the course of four years, we have grown to a staff of over 250. I have either been directly, or indirectly responsible for each and every one of these placements. I have experience in both set up, staffing and co-operating a startup, and creating and developing a national recruitment department (including an "in house" build of an HRIS).
I am also a member of the Senior Management Team at DialogueDirect, and have been since the formation of the company, contributing both my professional knowledge, but also personal knowledge about America and beyond, due to my extensive travel experience.
I have excellent communication skills, and am far from the person to shy away from an audience. Last year, I traveled to South Africa on a foreign recruitment trip, and presented our company in front of approximately 250 18-24 year old students. I have also most recently returned from Faro, Portugal, where I facilitated our Global Recruitment Forum. This entailed a 4 hour presentation/workshop involving all recruitment department heads from our Austria, Australian, Irish, and British companies.
While I do not have an extensive formal background in web design and marketing, I have been taking recruitment to levels not previously achieved in our area via end user focused web marketing. Some examples of this can be found at www.dialoguedirect.blogspot.com, and www.myspace.com/dialoguedirect.
Again, I might tie my sense of vision and imagination into the web marketing. I am constantly monitoring what our target audience is watching, listening to, reading, etc., and I use this knowledge to position our company in front of the right eyes, at exactly the right time. Use of social networking, blogging, and mobile marketing are all areas I am currently developing for DialogueDirect Inc.
I AM the embodiment of fast paced-informal work environment. During my time at bla-bla.com, I became self aware that work can be done quickly, it can be done accurately, and there is no excuse for the lack of either or. Regularly, I have pushed my own staff to work at the pace I enjoy working at, and while they may have disliked my pressure at the time, I have had more than one return to me a few days/weeks/months later and tell me, “You know…I really didn’t know I was capable of all this, in this amount of time”.
Being a recruiter, I am all about results. I have personally developed a KPI system for my recruiters that is now used on a national level, and reported back to me on a daily basis.
As far as being a committed, entrepreneurial team player….what more can I say? I have been recognized as an entrepreneur by my employer in the UK, and tapped to co-open the American market. I have worked tirelessly, many hours late into the night, simply because I believe in the cause, and I realize that someone has to do the work. If not me, than who?
My experience in set up, start up, and small company, combined with my management experience, both in people management, and strong contributions to the Senior Management Team, make me a strong asset to any organization.
