Work as an Independent Recruiter

Working as an independent recruiter for short-term or long-term employment has numerous advantages. You can be your own boss and have the flexibility to work according to your schedule while meeting your clients' deadlines. As a freelance recruiter, I have the freedom to work from anywhere and select which clients to work with. I have the power to control how many clients I take on at a time and can specialize in any sector that I choose.

As an independent recruiter, my primary responsibilities are discovering excellent clients and locating skilled candidates. Having someone else manage the paperwork, records, and bookkeeping is essential, or else it can become overwhelming. Although being an independent recruiter has its ups and downs, it has allowed me to develop new skills, improve upon existing ones, positively impact people's lives, and build a thriving full-time business. If you're interested in outsourcing some of your hiring needs for efficient and high-quality results, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Diversity & Inclusion

To embrace diversity, it is vital to hire individuals who come from different backgrounds than ourselves. However, it can be challenging to intentionally seek out and recruit people from diverse backgrounds. It's crucial to ensure that we hire individuals who possess the necessary skills, fit within the company culture, and bring diverse perspectives. It is best to consider a wide range of personalities and backgrounds to accomplish this goal.

Celebrating diversity is key to creating an inclusive and innovative workplace. We can develop new perspectives and solutions to challenges by embracing our differences. Let's promote a culture of effective workplaces where everyone feels free to be themselves, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

As a recruiter, my top priority is aligning and supporting diversity objectives and overcoming any challenges that come my way. To achieve this, recruiting managers must receive training and education on the significance of diversity. It can be challenging to recruit and retain individuals from underrepresented populations. Still, a company's commitment to diversity and willingness to make changes can significantly impact it.

Let's embrace diversity to boost progress as a global community. Compassion and variety are vital human qualities we should cherish. We can become more innovative as a species by prioritizing diversity and inclusion. Celebrating our individuality and working together as a team is possible. Focusing on diversity enhances our collaborative thinking skills, making us more knowledgeable and imaginative. To inspire creativity and innovation, let's welcome diversity. It's not about our differences but accepting and appreciating each other's unique qualities.

I quote, "Inclusion is not a matter of political correctness. It is the key to growth." — Rev. Jesse Jackson.

The Arcadia Promise

As the founder of Arcadia, my primary duty is to hire and retain the right people. To find suitable individuals, it is crucial to identify their innate potential and anticipate the type of person they will develop into. Hiring is even more critical when you realize you are not fit for the job. Before recruiting someone for a role, it is essential to acquire knowledge about it. Recruitment is essentially marketing, so if you work as a recruiter, you must view yourself as a marketer. If not, you might be in the wrong profession.

For this role, we require individuals with ambitious goals, confident decision-making abilities, and a data-driven approach to strategy. I work closely with recruitment managers, executives, and their teams to find talent acquisition solutions for business challenges. I am adaptable and open-minded when collaborating across departments, groups and geographies. My primary focus is on promoting growth and implementing talent management strategies that allow employees to thrive, advance their careers, and contribute to the company's success. I have a successful history of developing scalable strategies to cultivate the future talent of the organizations I've worked with.
