Anthony Stephens

I am seasoned, results-driven recruitment professional with 15+ years of leadership and workforce management experience spanning a variety of sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for managing end-to-end talent recruiting solutions, leading, and motivating teams, and developing and maintaining pro-active, consultative relationships with stakeholders. I consistently exceed budgetary and performance goals and I am adept at achieving maximum operational output with minimal resource expenditure. Professional focal points include recruiting strategy and developing recruiting metrics and analytics that address time to fill, aging requisitions, cost per hire, and recruiter performance management. I rely on metric reports and P&L management to develop comprehensive, strategic hiring strategies including passive candidate outreach, recruitment marketing plans, and utilization of cutting-edge recruitment technologies. It is important I provide a supportive, accountable leadership style to team members while raising sourcing and recruiting skills that allow the team to meet and exceed metric-driven SLAs. I also identify opportunities for improvement in team recruiting processes, and leverage innovative recruitment strategies that incorporate technology, marketing plans, and passive outreach to fulfill client needs. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to ensure the company’s recruiting support structure is driving the business forward profitably. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, strategic leader who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results and motivate employees. I am open to connecting with former colleagues and managers, as well as other professionals in my field. Feel free to contact me through this profile if you wish to connect.
