With 13 years in the staffing and recruitment industry, Sheri brings a tremendous amount of credibility to Vermillion Group's healthcare team. As a recipient of numerous awards including Pacesetter, Account Executive of the Quarter and Salesmeister, Sheri has developed a true insight and understanding of the issues facing companies in the ongoing war of talent acquisition.

Sheri's primary focus is developing key relationships with Pharmacists in the Ohio River Valley region, with the goal of bridging the gap between their current state of employment and where they ultimately would like to be. This consultative approach to the business allows her to truly understand what each individual pharmacist considers to be an opportunity.

"It's foolish for a recruiter to think they know what any particular individual would consider an opportunity unless they've told you specifically what an opportunity looks like to them," she says. "Most people I talk to aren't looking for jobs, they're open to or looking for an opportunity to take advantage of. If I don't know their current situation, and don't ask them to articulate what they consider to be something better, I'm essentially asking them if they need a new job - and again, most of them don't."

Sheri takes the same consultative approach with clients. "Most recruiters only qualify candidates based on a set of skills that's not my goal. I've found it crucial to qualify candidates based on skills, chemistry and motivation. Therefore, I partner with my clients to get a complete understanding of what the opportunity is, and craft a message that is accurate and clear enough for potential candidates to see it for what it is."

Setting Sheri apart is her understanding of the issues facing companies in the ongoing war of talent acquisition. This unique perspective was gained first-hand during 8 years as a search consultant, 4 years as a buyer with a Fortune 100 retailer, and 4 years as a marketer for a $200M manufacturer.

Sheri graduated with a BS in Fashion Merchandising from Iowa State University, and lives in the Des Moines area with her husband and 2 children.
