Project Operations and Team Collaboration

• Manage project budgets, tracking external vendor costs and "Cost-Per-Interview" (CPI) efficiency.
• Maintain a positive, solution-oriented attitude when project scopes or timelines shift due to market demands or client needs.
• Contribute to a supportive team culture by sharing best practices and assisting colleagues during high-volume periods.
