EKJ Talent Was Born
EKJ Talent Consulting LLC started in 2021 after years of contemplating starting a side hustle that “made sense.” The catalyst to my decision was when I was approached by a past candidate who thought the culmination of my experience could help people outside of my everyday 9-5 job.
And they were right.
One of my favorite parts of being a Recruiter is the people aspect. I enjoy my interaction with my clients while holding space for folks that’s judgement-free and focused on helping people believe and hone in on their skills/abilities and ultimately highlight that to share with future employers.
How It Started
My first headshot as an Executive Recruiter at CyberCoders in 2014
Hi, I’m Erika!
I received my BA in Journalism and Media Studies (which makes me a big Oxford comma advocate) from San Diego State University and landed my first gig at AT&T as a B2B Outside Sales/Account Executive. I was approached by a Recruiter at CyberCoders and joined as an Executive Recruiter in 2014.
And so began my career in Recruiting…
I have worked with numerous clients across various industries (although with a specialty in tech, creative, marketing, and gaming); built lasting business partnerships; advised and created interview processes; and sourced, recruited, and placed hundreds of candidates.
How It’s Going
Currently a Senior Technical Recruiter @ Everlaw
Over 600 candidates placed nationwide, interview preparations, and thousands of resume reviews later, I’m a Senior Technical Recruiter in-house at an ediscovery/legaltech startup called Everlaw.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends; traveling, trying out a new restaurant or recipe; kickboxing and yoga; painting; reading; or binge-watching shows on Netflix or Disney+.
