Eric Scheid
Talent Advisor
Hello! My name is Eric, and I was born and raised in the Omaha area. I am a proud father of three wonderful children - two daughters and one son. Over the past 15 years, I have dedicated my career to recruiting in the healthcare, home services, and franchising industries. I find immense joy in connecting highly qualified professionals with life-changing opportunities.
In my free time, I have a variety of interests that keep me busy. I love creating music, fishing, visiting amusement parks, relaxing on the beach, and most importantly, being actively involved in my children's extracurricular activities. I believe in the power of laughter and strive to make my children laugh as much as possible. As a father, I believe in enriching my children's lives through experiences such as camping trips, family game nights, and exploring new hobbies together. These shared moments create lasting memories and strengthen our bond.
In my role as a recruiter, I believe that empathy, communication skills, and a genuine interest in helping others are key factors that make a great recruiter. I take pride in understanding the needs of both my clients and candidates to ensure successful matches that benefit all parties involved.
I always look forward to assisting my clients in finding their perfect fit and creating meaningful partnerships. I am excited to collaborate with you on these milestone moments and help you achieve your goals. Let's work together to make a positive impact!
