As soon as I graduated from SUNY Oneonta (and proud of it), I walked into a personnel firm and fell in love with Recruiting, but it took 14 more years of business experience before I actually started my own Recruiting career. – That is a longer story, but feel free to ask me any time. What excites me every day about what I do is addressing the hiring challenges businesses face when it comes to recruiting. Often they struggle with the lack of time, technology, tools, or bandwidth to identify the right professional for their opening. The risks of passing on qualified candidates who can make a true impact or wasting time interviewing the wrong candidate, lengthens the time to hire, costing the company significantly. My job is to source the right candidates - the first time - by listening to my clients and advising them on the market to deliver impactful Talent. I hear both sides – what the employer needs and what the individual hopes to gain from a meaningful career change. The win is a happy outcome for the client, the candidate and for me, who orchestrated it. #LIVINGLLOYD

When I’m not reading resumes I enjoy my family as a husband and father of two great kids. I’m also an avid golfer – always striving for my Hole in One – golf is really just like recruiting – working to get that round ball into a round cup!
