Recruiter Panel

Our first meeting of the new PSCDA year will help us gain insight into what corporate recruiters are really thinking! Bring a friend and join us as moderator Jill Walser, PSCDA President-elect and Membership Chair (and a former recruiter herself), asks the panel questions. Audience questions will also be welcome.

Our panel of recruiters represent many key Puget Sound industries:

Jennifer Dupper comes to us from Amazon.com where she recruits online retail positions such as vendor managers, site merchandisers and marketing managers. Jennifer’s background includes a senior recruiter position with Starbucks and a corporate recruiting role at Parker Staffing.

Leslie Schmidt works as a recruiter for Swedish Medical Center. She recruits a variety of positions including nurses, pharmacy staff and HR. Leslie’s prior roles include recruiting for Washington Mutual and she was the operations manager for Volt Technical.

In addition to his many other HR duties, Michael Bersos handles recruiting for the Space Needle. In a prior position, he was the area recruiter for Securitas Security.

The panelists will also discuss how to navigate online job boards, what to include in a resume and how to be the most appealing candidate possible. The evening should prove interesting to anyone looking for a job and everyone who supports them.
