Cielo TalentDirector of Service Delivery

Sep. 2021 - Sep. 2023Denver Metropolitan AreaRPO is about "In-sourcing" talent, process and technology to solve the hiring challenges of customers. I work with a portfolio of manufacturing clients (defense, oil and gas, industrial gasses, chemicals) to get the hiring results they want. My teams work across hourly, skilled trades, professional and executive roles, managing recruiting from the time a requisition opens, to the time a new employee starts. We do this on an outsourced basis in relationships that last for years. We work hand-in-hand with client Talent Acquisition, HR and business leaders to produce results, respond to market challenges and improve results in time, quality and diversity of new hires. As well, we connect company, market and other data in ways that help client spot strategies and tactics to get better at finding, attracting, selecting and hiring the people they need. In the end we're about reliability in new hires (time, cost, quality) and in taking an approach that helps clients mature their ability to compete effectively no matter what talent they need, or what challenges come up in their markets.

Scott Birkhead LLCLife and Career Coach

Jan. 2021Denver Metropolitan Area"A goal isn't a place you get to. It's a place you come from." I coach human beings to rediscover and realign with who they really are, and chart a path to express that fully in their jobs, home life and long-term career aspirations. Sometimes life pushes us into corners where we don't belong. Working for the wrong people, the wrong causes, the wrong reasons. One day we wake up and look in the mirror and wonder how we got where we are, doing things every day we'd rather not do. For more than 15 years I've helped people reconnect with who they are, what they are passionate about and their values, and then design a plan to move more of life into back alignment with who they are. Interested in chatting about what that looks like? Reach out to me on scott.birkhead.kjd@gmail.com and we can set up a time to talk.
