Is anyone out there?

Good Morning, all.

Following Katrina in 2005, I relocated to West Hollywood, CA with my band from New Orleans and fell into recruiting in Downtown LA; I haven't stopped playing music and placing people since, haha.

I'm new here and am looking to link up with other recruiters to expand my market intel and to help minimize delivery time for some of my tougher requirements- namely DoD clearance level positions- a huge thorn in my side. One of my other passions is helping people, so I am more than willing to help you all out, as well. Let me know what I can do.

I will find a more appropriate profile pic later.

As you, I fell into recruiting as well when I moved here from New York 20 years ago. I started in Direct Hire placement..then took on Temp as well. Now own the firm I went to work for after I left my first firm in '89.

I really enjoy helping people as well. It is very rewarding and it's my way of giving back.

I have to find a more appropraite profile pic as well..lol
