Julie Burstin

The success of my professional career relies heavily on my ability to maintain strict confidentiality, collaborate across all levels of talent, work effectively under pressure, maintain strong communication skills, uphold employer missions and goals, and accomplish multiple tasks autonomously and simultaneously. I have managed teams and interns.

With experience from intimate start-ups to large international firms, my experience spans multiple industries. Throughout my career, I have focused on full-cycle talent acquisition. I have onboarded and integrated new hires from sourcing and interviewing, compensation research and offer letters, and professional development to retention. My skills demonstrate my ability to identify needs and objectives as well as conduct and analyze relevant market research. I have also facilitated and contributed to numerous hiring committees, diversity and inclusion committees, and professional development committees.
