Alicia Weaver
Talent Acquistion & Engagement Specialist
What I do at Benchmark Construction Company
I have the opportunity to help shape the employee experience from a candidate's first conversation through their growth and development within the company. My role includes leading recruiting efforts, supporting employee engagement initiatives, managing our internship program, and partnering with leaders across the organization to attract, hire, and retain great people.
I am passionate about building relationships and creating experiences that reflect Benchmark's culture and values. Whether I'm attending college career fairs, coordinating onboarding, gathering employee feedback, supporting engagement programs, or helping leaders find the right talent, my goal is simple: connect great people with great opportunities and help them feel valued throughout their journey with Benchmark.
Who am I?
Hi, I'm Alicia! I've spent nearly a decade helping people find meaningful careers and helping organizations build great teams. My journey started in agency recruiting, where I learned the ins and outs of talent acquisition before transitioning into corporate recruiting and employee engagement.
What I enjoy most about my work is getting to know people, hearing their stories, and helping them discover opportunities where they can grow and thrive. I'm passionate about creating positive candidate and employee experiences and believe that strong relationships are at the heart of it all.
Outside of work, I love to run long distance, hang out with family and friends, read, and watch Penn State football. I'm also currently pursuing a degree in Psychology and enjoy learning about human behavior, leadership, and personal growth. Whether I'm mentoring interns, supporting leaders, or meeting with candidates, I'm energized by helping people reach their potential and build meaningful connections.
Advice for prospective candidates
We are a team at Benchmark. No egos allowed! We look for people who are genuine, grounded, hardworking, and driven to win with those around them. Everything we do is rooted in Integrity and loyalty to each other and our clients. My advice is to showcase those qualities in you with real-life examples & stories. Be authentic in who you are, because we will sniff out someone who is being fake. At the end of the day, it's all about relationships, and building authentic connections is what matters to us.
