For two decades, I have been at the helm of numerous high-performing talent acquisition programs across multiple industries. In every role, I took an innovative approach to matching companies with diverse talent and delivered unrivaled results time and again. As an analytical thinker, I felt compelled to explore the “why” behind my success. I quickly realized that my process and methods of execution were unique, rendering my partnership and knowledge indispensable to many businesses.

Fortunately, my research highlighted a massive gap: recruitment relationships have unnecessary limitations. With innate determination, I realized I could replicate my success, expand my reach, and seamlessly help even more businesses with their recruitment needs and candidates find their perfect opportunity.

The answer was to design a strategic recruiting firm like none other in the market. Simply put, the goal was to put the client first and match them with the right talent every time. And 360 Talent Avenue was born.

As the CEO of 360, I’ve been called a visionary entrepreneur, singularly focused on connecting businesses across all industries with exceptional diverse talent. I’m passionate about breaking down barriers to employment for marginalized people. I believe that there is extraordinary untapped talent that can and should be explored for even the most challenging of roles.

I am the CEO of 360.

360 Talent Avenue helps businesses transform their recruiting process through innovative, data-driven talent acquisition solutions that empower them to hire swiftly and efficiently. The 360 solution suite offers comprehensive recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) for high-volume hiring, specialized search for unique, hard-to-fill positions, and recruitment consulting for a more tailored approach. With 360, businesses can truly hire better.

360 is not your typical recruiting firm, we are revolutionizing the eighty-year-old staffing industry by providing cutting-edge diversity-focused solutions to the recruiting challenges that have eluded others. 360 is more than just a partner to our clients and our candidates; we are a true ally. We listen intently, we care deeply, and we are devoted to their success.

Built on the core ideology of inclusivity and equal opportunity, 360 aims to bridge the gap between employers and talented individuals who may have traditionally faced barriers to entry. We offer employers the opportunity to tap into a talent pool that they may have previously overlooked.

One of the common barriers to finding underrepresented talent is relying on the same old sources and methods. 360 Talent Avenue does it differently. We start by actively searching for individuals from varying backgrounds who have the potential to excel in their respective fields. This entails reaching out to communities, referrals, networks, and organizations to promote our employer brand and showcase our commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The work doesn’t end there. Once identified, underserved talent needs to be nurtured through targeted development programs that provide equal opportunities for growth and advancement. Mentoring programs, formal training sessions, and networking opportunities help bridge any gaps in skills or experience and empower these individuals to succeed. From there it is crucial to ensure that candidates are evaluated solely on their qualifications and experience. Finding and developing talent is not a one-time effort; it is an ongoing journey that requires continuous improvement and evaluation.

I am incredibly honored to win the TITAN Women in Business Award and be considered amongst so many outstanding women. After working in the talent acquisition space for more than two decades, I saw an opportunity to disrupt the industry by starting a recruiting firm with women at the helm.

This recognition emphasizes our dedication towards fostering an environment that embraces diversity and enables us to expand our reach. We are proud to join this esteemed group of women who have made such a significant impact in their industries. Next to being a female CEO and business owner, I am also a mother of two young daughters. It’s important for me to set an example for them every day that women can successfully overcome stereotypes and challenge the status quo.

As the CEO of 360, I am always thinking. I constantly evaluate better ways to support our customers, whether it be through improved efficiencies or more transparent communication. I believe strongly in diversity of thought and seek out different ideas in a multitude of ways.

Externally, I am involved in a CEO Advisory Board that helps expose 360 to different ways of overcoming adversity. Internally at 360, we encourage brainstorming sessions and feedback from our team members as their insight is highly valued and respected.

At 360, we define success by operating from a client-first mindset, further reinforced by our mission of connecting businesses with exceptional talent.

Since its inception, 360 Talent Avenue set its sights on revolutionizing the recruiting industry. As a woman-owned business with an all-female leadership team, 360 has single-handedly changed the way businesses hire, and for the better. Built on the foundation of bringing transparency, efficiency, and the magic of human connection back into recruitment, the 360 solution suite offers something for “every-business.”

At 360 Talent Avenue, we are proud to have such accomplished and committed women on our team. We look forward to continuing to support and empower women in the workplace and making a positive impact on the industry as a whole.

My parents. My father is the most diligent worker I have ever known. He set a precedent for me early on in my childhood that it takes hard work and dedication to achieve success. The long hours and do-whatever-it-takes entrepreneurial spirit no doubt comes from him.

My mother taught me all about proper planning and organization. Her shining example built the foundation for an everyday necessity in business ownership: the ability to effectively multitask and prioritize. She also taught me how to manifest effective communication through active listening skills. In both recruitment and leadership, demonstration of strong communication is a fundamental skill for success.

My keys to success has always been rather simple:

- Believe in yourself. Truly believe that you can accomplish anything.

- Take action. Set challenging goals and hold yourself accountable. Your only real competitor is you.

- Be kind to one another. Surround yourself with those who empower you to grow and thrive.
