Alva was the most amazing partner in my hiring process. Having been in the industry for 25 years she was the best sourcing partner in all of them. She was thorough and ahead of the game keeping multiple candidate funnels filled. She would brainstorm and empower me and the team to be a better team in the process through calls, instructions, emails, and chats. She was always on top of her work and very attentive to the candidates and staff working with her. She is a first pick in my book and I look forward to having the opportunity to working with her again. She would be good as a technical recruiter and recruiting manager as she grows into her career. If you want someone who owns and delivers Alva is that person.

When we were standing up my new software engineering team, she was meticulous in ensuring my pipelines were always filled with great candidates. What impressed me was the attention she gave her hiring managers including myself. She never passed up an opportunity to find potential candidates. This included setting up a strong social presences for our teams, organizing hiring events and finding and attending morale events where she could talk up and evangelize roles.
