-: So my name's Jordan Feiger-Burmeister
and I'm a recruiter and marketing specialist
for Elire, Inc.
So I work in very niche IT recruitings,
so working on hiring very highly specialist
IT resources that implement and execute
Oracle software products,
so a lot of candidate sourcing,
working organically from job boards
like LinkedIn or Dice or even career fairs
such as this and bringing them all the way through
and interviewing them and then getting them
on our specialized client sites.
Yeah, so today we're really looking to hire for our
associate class of business consultants.
They can be across a wide range of skillsets
and backgrounds.
So interviewing candidates, looking at internships as well
because we do take interns,
and kind of getting a feel for who's interested
in going into consulting and then giving them
more information 'cause it's not really
a readily thought about thing.
You know you think about being an accountant,
or you think about being a teacher,
but not being a IT business process consultant,
so giving them more of that background
and getting people interested.
So generally, I'm kind of that first rung
of communication.
I'll have a 20 to 30 minute phone screening
kind of digging into their background,
into their internship or maybe even career experience
for those Master's candidates,
walking them through what Elire is and then
what we do on a day to day basis
and then connnecting them to the right practice area,
because we do work across a variety
of IT software suites,
kind of connecting them to the lead
who's gonna be most beneficial for moving them
to that next step in their career,
then getting them set up for an interview.
Then we usually do a third round interview
to get to know them in person because
being a consultant you have to drop on our
client sites, and our clients are across
all different Fortune 500 companies.
You have to be someone who's definitely very affable
and then presentable in person,
so getting to know them on a personal level,
see how they present themselves,
and then moving them forward into our training program.
Yeah, so we hire on a rolling basis,
just dependent upon our client needs.
We work on more of a project basis
so it's less, we hire a class in May
and then hire a class in December.
We're really hiring for our client needs
and what our current staffing resources look like.
We have a team of 60 full time consultants
that work with us and are working year-round,
and a network of 200 independent consultants
that we contract on an as needed basis.
So it kinda depends.
