How to Get Hired: A Conversation with Two Talent Acquisition Partners
Sia Partners is one of the Top 50 Consulting Firms to Work For in North America. And today, two of their recruiters are here to answer your questions directly.
This is not a generic "how to get a job" session. This is a real conversation about what it takes to break into American consulting as an immigrant professional.
Meet our speakers:
Alexa Marcano — Talent Acquisition Partner at Sia with 7+ years of experience recruiting digital, creative, and technical talent. She focuses on Technology, Marketing Advisory, Energy, Transportation, and Industrials business units.
Heather Kipp — North America Talent Acquisition Partner at Sia, specializing in Financial Services. Based in Charlotte, NC, with a background in hospitality and recruitment.
What we'll explore:
How consulting firms evaluate international experience and what positioning works best
Which skills, certifications, and platforms actually matter for getting hired
Paths to entry: consulting track, project-based roles, internships, and co-ops
The truth about OPT, H-1B sponsorship, and visa considerations in hiring
What's hot in consulting right now: data, AI/ML, strategy, and beyond
Inside the Sia hiring process: stages, red flags, and what they look for in the first 30 seconds
Why attend?
This is a rare chance to ask recruiters from a top consulting firm the questions you actually have — about visas, international experience, positioning, and what really gets you through the door. No polished FAQ, just real answers.
As always, we welcome everyone. Bring your questions and your notebook.
Thank you!
See you soon.
