As a Senior Technical Recruiter at Spirit Omega Staffing in Calgary, Alberta, I lead full-cycle recruitment for complex engineering and technology positions across multiple industries, with a strong emphasis on the oil and gas sector. With over 12 years of experience in talent acquisition and human resources, I bring a deep understanding of the unique workforce demands across sectors such as energy, biomedical, commercial property management, aerospace, and defense.
At Spirit Omega, I partner with hiring managers, C-suite leaders, and project stakeholders to deliver customized staffing solutions that align with business strategy and technical requirements. My expertise includes sourcing and securing high-caliber candidates for roles in software development, infrastructure, automation, mechanical and electrical engineering, and project management. I maintain and optimize applicant tracking systems (ATS), including Avature, and ensure a seamless candidate experience from outreach through onboarding.
I also work closely with immigration teams and third-party vendors to support workforce mobility and compliance in both Canadian and U.S. markets. A SHRM-CP certified professional, I hold a BA and MS in Human Resources Management and Services from Southern New Hampshire University.
My mission at Spirit Omega is to build diverse, qualified talent pipelines that fuel innovation and performance across the industries shaping our future — from energy and infrastructure to advanced technology and defense — with a special focus on oil and gas-related engineering roles that are critical to operational success and long-term sustainability.
Chris is an incredibly talented recruiter and is widely knowledgeable across multiple skill sets including cybersecurity, software, and aerospace recruiting. He was a mentor to me at CBRE and was always there to offer knowledge sharing and helped me elevate my career. Any company would be lucky to have him as a talent partner!
Chris was a senior technical recruiter on my team, reporting to me. He is an excellent recruiter and also a great mentor, leader and trainer to junior members on the team. While I do not have technical recruiting in my repertoire, I did not need it with Chris on board. He was able to fill the most difficult technical positions and understands anything and everything about it, including having the courage to let hiring managers know if/when the ask was not obtainable. I managed Chris in the way I liked to be managed, leaving him to do his job, unless there was something I could help with. Chris will go a million miles for anyone when he is thriving in a respectful, positive, environment.
Working with Chris, as we all call him, was a gratifying moment in my professional career. It has been inspiring to watch him share his knowledge in the industry, share talent, keeping the team environment fun and become an extremely resourceful recruiter and a helpful team member you can count on. We also worked on several internal projects together and I truly enjoyed his company and gained from his experience. His insight, dedication and integrity are exemplary. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with him. I look forward to working with him in the future!
