About Me
I began my recruiting career as an agency recruiter, three decades ago. Within two years, I moved to a small consulting company with responsibilities for sales and staffing, supporting Fortune 500 companies in my hometown of Chicago, IL. Soon after, I focused my career as a professional contract recruiter. This allowed me the opportunity to work with world-class companies such Accenture, CA Technologies, Sybase (now SAP), Northern Trust, PeopleSoft, Cognizant, Navistar, and Trustwave. In April of 2013, I returned to Oracle full time as Principal Talent Advisor for over 7 years. With the pandemic at the start of the year, I went independent joined by a small team of sourcers and consulting advisors at my back.
Since 1990, most of my experience has been in the Technology space, recruiting support personnel to sales leaders all the way up to the executive level. Positions range from Application and Software development, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Security, Infrastructure, Cloud, Sales, Finance, Marketing, Supply Chain, HR, and Operations.
After years of working in-house with corporate clients I have decided to hang my own shingle as founder of QFormia. It was time to take my passion for recruiting directly to clients to help them attract top talent, streamline their internal recruitment efforts, and work with HR on employee retention and branding. Understanding your culture quickly and finding niche candidates is my specialty.
My consultative style, commitment to integrity, experience and extensive network is focused on providing you unparalleled services. These services include Retained and Contingency Talent Search / Hourly Contract Staff / ATS Optimization / HR Services and Support.
If you’re the type to skip to the end: I know what I’m doing, and you’ll enjoy working with me.

Why we should partner?
- Our approach is based on flexibility.
- We work on a national level.
- My team and I are relationship recruiters, We pickup the phone and don’t hide behind emails or a fancy website. I personally, am still in touch with many whose careers I have changed along the way.
- My team will be your voice to the public; we will represent your culture with laser accuracy that will attract the right people.
- We won’t bore you with our methodologies and approach because it’s simple – We leverage our network to help grow your business. We won’t waste your time recreating the wheel and a process that’s worked for over a century for thousands of companies like yours. If you want a complicated methodology, hours of PowerPoint presentations and meetings, cost models that will make your head spin, please call our competitors. By the time you sign an agreement with our competitor we would have filled similar positions to yours at our other clients. We leverage technology if it helps us, but we are not bound by technology.
- When I started in the HR / Recruitment industry October 1990 it was because I enjoyed working with a diverse group of people that I would have otherwise not have met. From day one I have never chased money, I am in this field because I truly enjoy giving life-changing guidance to job seekers and clients. In my professional opinion, there is no secret recruitment process or methodology. Recruiting is all about relationship building and execution, that’s it. Too much process equals less time building relationship and less time to execute on what you promised.
- My corporate expertise gives me ‘inside knowledge’ as to what candidates, hiring managers and TA leaders are looking for and expect. I take the time to get to know each client and candidate so that we are on target with the candidates we present.
- We will never present just anyone hoping they’ll work out; our integrity and reputation is worth more than any fee.
How We Can Partner?
YOU HAVE OPTIONS! Together we will collaborate on the most effective recruiting strategy to help us identify top talent.
YOU DON’T NEED A HUGE BUDGET!
In addition to our standard payment terms, we’ve worked with financial constraints in the past. It won’t lessen the total fee, but you also don’t have to give up on hiring the right people, because they aren’t there to help you earn. If you’re open to fresh ideas, we can come up with an option that works for your business. Let’s talk and see what we can do to earn your business within your tight budget. Call or text my cell at 708-516-2267.
For almost 30 years I’ve managed full life cycle recruiting, worked closely with HR and have supported some of the largest and most complicated business units in North America. My diverse corporate background has allowed me to excel in varied environments while fulfilling needs for entry-level to leadership roles.
Throughout most of my career, I’ve been a thought leader in high performing teams. I build strong rapport with applicants and leadership which drives efficient lifecycle recruitment, employee retention, and engagement. I use my extensive personal network in Tech to drive results. My team and I can do the same for you!
Why us? Because it’s all in a day’s work!
We are not resume pushers!
- We don’t work with any client; we will both agree on expectations and ground
rules for a good working relationship. - Just like you we are in business to earn a living. We will most definitely help you in any way we can but at some point, we will need to bill you for our time
- We want to grow with you! We truly mean that – – – – really??
- How many times have you had someone cold call and say they will grow with you and get to know your business? I’ve worked side by side with clients like yourself for over 20 years. For the better part of my career, I sat in debrief meetings, I managed interview days with over a dozen applicants, dug up the right person and filled the role. For me, our partnership is all in a day’s work.
- No ATS system will ever replace the trained eye of a professional recruiter who can save you hundreds of hours reviewing template resumes.
- I’ve always been driven by curiosity and what better way than talking to a person live to discover their greatness.
Core Values
A wise teacher once brought balloons to school, told her pupils to blow them up and write their name on one. After the children tossed their balloons into the hall, the teacher moved through the hall mixing them all up. Up and down the hallway, other teachers did the same.
The kids were given five minutes to find the balloon with their name on it, but though they searched frantically, no one found their own balloon.
Then the teacher told them to take the balloon closest to them and give it to the person whose name was on it. In less than two minutes, everyone was holding their own balloon.
The teacher said to the children, “These balloons are like happiness. We won’t find it when we’re only searching for our own. But if we care about someone else’s happiness…it will ultimately help us find our own.”
I’m not saying the right candidate will bring happiness, or even that I’ll find them in a balloon. But I do care, I will help, and this doesn’t have to be hard.
