About Rakeem Golden

I am a highly experienced professional with a diverse background in talent sourcing, campus recruitment, early talent acquisition, program coordination and management, and college admissions recruitment. With a track record of success in managing recruitment programs and building diverse candidate pipelines, I have excelled in facilitating campus engagement, intern recruitment, and conversion, as well as implementing strategies for effective recruitment and retention. In my most recent role as a Campus Recruiter at Zillow, I have been responsible for designing and delivering campus strategies to fuel growth through inclusive candidate pipelines and diverse workforces. Through my expertise in requirements analysis, technical recruiting, communication, and event management, I have successfully contributed to the recruitment and development of early talent. During my tenure as a Sr. Recruiter & Program Coordinator at TouQalb, I provided leadership, strategic direction, and operational management for recruitment programs, particularly in the HIV prevention department. I successfully developed and implemented recruitment and retention programs, resulting in significant growth in membership and estimated operating savings/revenue. Additionally, I played a key role in advising clients, developing new strategies, and ensuring the effective delivery of recruitment and retention programming. As an Admissions Recruiter at the University of Missouri-Saint Louis, I provided prospective students and families with information on admissions requirements and academic programs. I also built and maintained relationships with high school personnel and college representatives, represented the university at recruiting activities, and stayed up-to-date on university programs, student activities, and financial aid opportunities. Overall, I bring a strong skill set in recruitment, program coordination, relationship building, and communication, along with a proven ability to drive results and contribute to organizational growth.
