Great Careers – BENG Atlanta Chapter September 8 ZOOM Meeting

Kerri Cufaro will present

If Kerri had a nickel for every time she answered “how did you ever get into recruiting?” she would be on a tiny island, that she owns, sipping frozen drinks with little umbrellas. With a finance degree and an investment analyst background, Kerri walked into an Atlanta staffing office in 2003 and sought help finding another analyst position. As the story goes, she was recruited to be a recruiter.

Kerri always boasts, “I absolutely love what I do; I am passionate about being in Talent Acquisition and helping people find jobs; it is the best feeling in the world!”

Working for several staffing agencies and consulting firms as well as internally recruiting for a few corporations, Kerri has a keen knowledge of managing high performing teams, strategizing with executive leaders, consulting with hiring managers and human resource partners and sourcing and recruiting stellar candidates. Kerri has successfully managed relationships at all levels between the client/hiring manager and the job seeker throughout the interview process to ensure timely and effective placements.

What have Kerri’s candidates, colleagues and executives said about her?
• “honest, passionate … proven veteran … right kind of leader … commitment to excellence and professionalism … motivated and forward-thinking … best recruiter I worked within 50 years”
• “Talent Acquisition leader with a successful track record of leading change initiatives, improving processes and operational metrics, exceeding goals, and managing staff.”

Kerri grew up on Long Island in New York, attended the University of Maryland for 3 years (ZTA love) before transferring and graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Finance from Hofstra University. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Atlanta in 1995.

The BENG

“Members Helping Members”

Peter Frost, President of BENG, said networking is critical as job searching strategies and career transition continues to change in this economy. “Those in transition can no longer rely on job search engines to fuel their search, they need to continuously build a network and stay connected to that network,” explains Frost. “Most new members begin to realize all of the networking contacts they let go during years of secure employment and they’re encouraged to become career networkers.”

Business Executives Networking Group “BENG is a non-profit organization providing mid to senior-level professionals seeking employment, with a forum that will facilitate their job search and enhance their networking skills. This multidiscipline, independent group of mid-to senior-level professionals contains job seekers and employed members and business owners. BENG provides employment information, opportunities for networking, emotional support, and tools to accelerate their members’ job search. We rely upon the spirit of generosity and cooperation of our members, whether in transition or employed, to accomplish this mission.”
