I am a Staffing Administrator in the recruiting office. I assist the recruiters by sending out offer packets, reviewing background and drug screening results and making sure that the candidate has completed all the paperwork that is necessary before they start in their new position at CRH. I also help candidates with any questions they have about the new hire process.
When did you join CRH?
I joined CRH in December 2015.
Where is your position located?
It is in Rochester, New York.
What do you like about working at CRH?
I like working at CRH because I like being able to help candidates. There is a time frame of about one to two weeks where I can communicate with the candidate and get to know them. It is always wonderful to have someone call and tell you that a recruiter you are working with is great, that our office is very responsive and how excited they are to start. Being able to answer questions and talk to the candidates can help diminish the anxiety of starting a new job. There have even been a few times when candidates have emailed me after their first day just to tell me how well it went.
What are the best parts of your job?
The best part is the people that I work with every day. Everyone is so nice, helpful and approachable.
What would co-workers say about you?
They would say that I am the lady that sits at the new front desk that had been empty for a while, that I still startle them when they come in. But besides that, I think they would say that I am quiet, helpful and friendly.
Tell us about your family.
My wonderful husband Rick and I have been together since we were 18. We like to travel, go to sporting events and go to concerts. We have two beautiful daughters, Fiona and Naomi. Fiona loves to play soccer, participates in Odyssey of the Mind (an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students), plays trombone and was selected to sing with the All County Choir. She has accomplished so much, is on high honor roll, and we are very proud of her. Naomi plays soccer and basketball. She participates in cheerleading and does well in school. We are so proud of her and love her nonstop sense of humor. Our family also consists of three cats and a dog.
What was your first job?
The first job that I had was cleaning offices just down the road. I would work from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. every Saturday sweeping, vacuuming and mopping. It was easy but waking up early on a Saturday as a teenager was not my favorite thing to do!
