Susan earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin and she’s currently one of the recruiting managers at a company called Penumbra. If your not familiar with Penumbra, it is a global medical device organization headquartered in Alameda, CA, that designs, develops, manufacturers and markets novel products that address challenging medical conditions in markets with significant unmet need in both the neuro and vascular space.

During our conversation, Susan and I discussed her role as an Internal Recruiter from responsibilities of an internal recruiter, to favorite social media platforms that she uses for recruiting.

Some key highlights we discussed:

-As a Corporate Recruiter, she constantly has a significant work load on her desk. How does she stay organized?

-What is one thing she thinks Hiring Managers misunderstand about an Internal Recruiter’s role & responsibilities?

-What social media platforms is she using these days for recruiting?

-Which seem to be the most effective for engaging prospective candidates?

-Are job postings giving the ROI they are meant to give? At all levels, or just lower level positions?

-What is one of the most common mistakes she sees candidates making?
