Summary

BILINGUAL RECRUITMENT MANAGER

https://www.linkedin.com/in/mmacarthur/

In a world of algorithms, hashtags, and anonymous followers, lets remember the vital importance of the human connection.

I believe that listening is more important than talking and is the secret sauce in helping Clients and Candidates achieve positive outcomes.

PROFESSIONAL OVERVIEW

Fully bilingual Recruitment Manager based in Toronto with roots in Montreal.

I began my career in advertising as well as international business conference development which allowed me to learn more about what drives people in their business life.

Recruitment became a natural offshoot and is what I continue to enjoy as I strive to offer work options to people, one candidate at a time.
