This is a “Recruiter’s Resume” with all details included. Due to the volume of phone calls and current client commitments I cannot respond to voice calls quickly and do not want to inconvenience anyone. So, please email first. I will only answer if you include the following: end client name to prevent double submission, rate range C2C and project/role details. Only C2C projects. NO SKILL SET forms either. This way I can respond quickly with a yes or no to reduce any phone or email “tag.”
