About
Alison Collins
With executive search, technical and general recruiting experience and a career spanning tech companies, startups, non-profits, healthcare, finance, hospitality and local government, I am an expert in my field and I know what employers, recruiters and hiring managers are looking for in the interview process.
As a San Francisco Bay Area-based talent consultant and career development professional, I have 18 years of experience in people and talent (HR and recruiting), consulting, training, and coaching. I've worked as an in-house recruiter and recruiting manager for Fortune 500 companies like Salesforce, LinkedIn, Lyft and OpenTable, and in executive search, including over 5 years with Korn Ferry International. I've also led recruiting departments and managed teams of up to 12 recruiters.
In my career, I have screened thousands of resumes and interviewed thousands of candidates. My training and coaching experience spans from entry to executive level and youth to seniors.
In 2008, I received my BA from the University of Colorado at Boulder and in 2009, I completed the Global Career Development Facilitator program (GCDF).
