Letter of Introduction
My name is Cindy Anderson and I possess extensive experience in the Recruiting, Staffing Strategies, and Human Resources areas with a specialty is in high-volume, high-end technical recruiting of Engineers, Managers, and Directors (and above) in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Information Technology, Network, Infrastructure, Internet, Database, Datawarehousing, Project Management, Engineering, and Telecommunications disciplines. Additionally I also have recruited in Accounting and Finance areas for roles such as Accountants, Auditors, Financial Analysts, SOX Compliance and SEC/Financial Reporting Managers. I also have extensive experience involving the integration of the many facets of Human Resources with corporate goals: developing corporate HR policies and procedures, employee retention, employee management, career counseling and development, succession planning, foreign national processing, and salary administration in both consulting and corporate environments. I have the ability to provide my services corp-to-corp/1099 and will also consider W-2 hourly or fully benefited, direct employee. I look forward to providing my services to top-employers locally in the Tampa FL area or from my fully equipped, home-based, high-tech, “virtual office” nationally and internationally.
While working in the consulting industry, I was integral to developing several “Practice Groups” which were new "start up" divisions, despite the fact that they were often within large organizations. As an initial member of several such efforts, my responsibilities included writing business plans, establishing policies and procedures, hiring key staff, managing budgets, and doing engagement management.
An additional 10+ years of experience as a Software Developer and IT Project Manager facilitates excellent rapport and relationships with hiring managers, technical leaders and candidates.
As an active member of the Suncoast Human Resources Management Association (SHRMA), Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM), Colorado Technical Recruiter’s Network (CTRN), Boulder Area Human Resources Association (BAHRA), and Colorado Human Resources Association (CHRA), I have participated in many programs and events these organizations offer as well as have chaired several of their committees and events.
On a personal note, I enjoy outdoor activities, water sports, sailing, professional sports, domestic and international traveling, and ethnic dining. Due to my current parent care duties, I reside in Largo Florida (near Clearwater Beach in the Tampa area) and thus I must limit my client on-site time to this geographic area. However, with technology and Voice over IP (VoIP) I have an excellent track record of providing my service “virtually” to clients companies nationally and internationally as well.
I look forward to speaking with you about your business, staffing and human resources challenges and hope to be integral in meeting those needs.
Best regards,
Cindy Anderson
