European Staffing Team
Maayan
Iӭ Maayan Zusman and I work in Intel Israelӳ Academic Relations Group. IӶe been working at Intel for more than three years and during this time I have transitioned between several interesting positions. Iӭ constantly learning new things and enjoying it a lot!
I received my BA in Management specializing in Human Resources, from Ben Gurion University in Israel and Iӭ currently finishing my MBA, specializing in Marketing. In my spare time I enjoy reading, spending time with my family and friends and lazing around watching TV. I look forward to chatting with you!
Mariya
Hi, Iӭ Mariya and I work for the European staffing team. I joined Intel as an intern in 2007 when I was a student in my fourth year at university. I completed a degree in linguistics and translation with the Linguistic University of Nizhny Novgorod in 2008. Iӭ based in Russia, in Nizhny Novgorod which is one of Intelӳ Research and Development hubs in Europe. At the moment Iӭ a sourcing specialist supporting intern and recent graduate hiring in Russia and a number of other EMEA countries like France and Italy. In my spare time, I enjoy going out with my friends, dancing, reading Spanish books and spending weekends with my family.

Becky
Iӭ Becky and I currently work on Intelӳ European Staffing team as a sourcing specialist (more commonly known as a recruiter!) for the UK, Germany and Nordics. I am based in Swindon in the UK, so much of my work is done remotely. I have been working at Intel for 10 years in different capacities! I spent most of this time in the Learning and Development organization where I held several different positions. In these positions I had a variety of responsibilities such as coordinating and scheduling training courses for our internal employees across EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), and managing our internal instructor base! In 2008 I transitioned into the European Staffing organization and have never looked back! That is one of the great things about Intel ֠you are able to move roles and develop your career internally!
In my spare time I am quite active and do a lot of fitness training which I really enjoy. I have actually become more adventurous as I have gotten a bit older and tried my hand at white water rafting, wakeboarding and have recently done a driving experience day where I got to drive a Porsche and a Ferrari which was great fun! I look forward to hearing from you and chatting with you!
Global Diversity
The Global Diversity Team is a group of rock stars who help to recruit, retain and develop top talent for Intel with numerous marketing programs internally and externally. Each team member has their own area of expertise: Margie (with the help of our awesome intern, Josh) plans and executes Intelӳ presence at numerous conferences around the country while Nicole provides both strategic and tactical support for educational programs such as the Intel Computer Clubhouse and the Intel Design Challenge. Denise owns the global diversity communication strategy but spends most of her time working with creative agencies on advertising, graphics, photography and video production. The majority of communicating is left to Tiffany, our internal communications specialist who keeps 80,000 plus employees updated on our whereabouts and awards through our intranet and newsletter.
Collectively, we have more than 60 years experience at Intel, and we look forward to sharing our insights, perspectives and ideas as we participate in a variety of recruiting and development activities throughout the year. Check out our Diversity at Intel site for more and follow us on Twitter, @Intel_Diversity!
Ian
Hello folks, my name is Ian. I graduated from Purdue University in May of 2010 with my bachelorӳ degree in electrical engineering (which is the most fun sort of engineering). I joined Intel in July of 2010 as a member of the Rotational Engineering Program (REP). As a rotational engineer (RE), I will work with three different groups over the next 18 months, doing three rotations of six months each. Currently, Iӭ in my first rotation and am working for IntelΠmicroarchitecture code name
Haswell Lead Validation. This means that my group has the task of making sure that Haswell, the sequel to the excellent IntelΠmicroarchitecture code name Sandy Bridge, runs flawlessly. In short, weӲe the guys that make sure that 2+2=4, every time. Itӳ a fun job, and the work is interesting enough to make my morning commute worth it, every day.
Currently, Iӭ working in Oregon, which affords me the opportunity to live in downtown Portland. This opens up a huge number of recreational activities, including camping, concerts, hiking, go-karting, craft beer tasting, swing dancing, and when Mt. Hood gets enough snow on it, snowboarding! I love that I can cycle around town comparatively safely, as Portland is one of the most bike-friendly places in the nation. Of course, activities like this are best when you have a social network to enjoy them with, and the REP is that for me. Thereӳ always an RE or and RE alum whoӳ up for whatever cockamamie scheme youӲe trying to put together.
IӬl be blogging about the REP and how it affects me both professionally and personally. The REP is a community of work hard / play hard adherents, and IӬl keep you posted on both halves, so stay tuned!
Keith
Hey, hi. I’m Keith Pearce, I work in Worldwide Compensation & Benefits and am based in Folsom, California. These days, I’m working on ways to improve the perceived value of our pay and benefits programs. We have really great pay and benefits programs and yet, ironically, many employees don’t actually know what these programs are and how it all works. My focus is on finding creative, inexpensive ways to get the word out about pay and benefits, including social media, and short video. Before this role, I was the global program manager for the Focal program ֠our annual performance review program ֠for several years. I started at Intel in 1999 and have also managed teams supporting our corporate intranet and HR systems.
A California native, I grew up in the OC (Orange County) and relocated to the Sierra Nevada foothills about 20 years ago. These days, I have two kids in college, so Iӭ frequently reminded of my time at California State University in Fullerton and the challenge and awesomeness that is college. Thatӳ one reason that IӶe mentored a few newly hired college grads and am happy to participate in this blog at Intel.com. Iӭ a productivity ninja, a British comedy fan, indie music follower, and enjoy annoying word play. I usually go with a double tall non-fat dry cappuccino, and have been told I have a cool hat.
Kirsten
Hello! My name is Kirsten, and I joined Intel in July of 2011 as member of the Rotational Engineering Program (REP). As part of the program, I complete three six-month rotations in different Intel groups. I’m currently working in Arizona, in my first rotation, as part of the Assembly & Test Technology Development (ATTD) group. Here, I have been tasked to find alternative materials for a particular part in one of our module tools. Specifically, I am path-finding new materials that resist corrosion and increase thermal and electrical flow between our test unit and die.
I graduated with a B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
As a Texas native, I enjoy living in a state where the sun shines year round (a small departure from the mostly wintry days of Boston). But, I am also looking forward to traveling to other geographic sites while in the REP. I consider myself a purveyor of fashion and lover of all things geeky, nerdy, and tech.
Keep a look out for my posts — they’re sure to entertain and be equally informative about Life at Intel, and outside too.
Lisa
Hello fellow bloggers! Iӭ Lisa and before joining Intel, IӤ never worked a full-time job. I went from high school, to college, to Intel. Talk about feeling overwhelmed! I started with the company in 1997 out of Rio Rancho, New Mexico working in our Technology Manufacturing Group and transitioned to Chandler, AZ in 1998. IӶe supported various aspects of manufacturing from equipment maintenance, quality control, fabrication and assembly test training, supply chain management to now driving and supporting Intelӳ US college recruitment strategy.
My current role, as a College Recruiting Manager, is an amazing job and a great fit for me. Iӭ responsible for promoting Intel as the employer of choice and connecting great technical and business talent to Intelӳ hiring teams. Iӭ able to provide students with a glimpse of what itӳ like to work at Intel by interacting with them on campus and virtually! (follow me on Twitter: @IntelLisaSmith)
My life is truly a balance of working hard and playing even harder. Iӭ currently on a Kickball League with some colleagues and I am truly enjoying the opportunity to unleash my competitive sideơll in fun, of course. Watch for some fun AND informative posts from me in the coming year!
Matt
Hi! My name is Matt and I joined Intel full time in July 2010 as a member of the HR Pathways Rotation program. Because Human ResourcesҠhas so many different roles and functions, the Pathways program allows me to learn multiple functions through three four-month rotations before taking a permanent placement.
I currently serve as a Business Group Analyst in Strategic Research and Employee Programs where I provide analytical support for our HR leaders. At Intel, our people are truly our greatest asset and I love being directly aligned with our companyӳ success!
I came to Intel from the Էindy cityԠ(Chicago), and now reside in Portland, OR. Being far removed from the flat fields of the Midwest, surprisingly, Iӭ beginning to fall in love with all of the mountains, oceans, and waterfalls out here in Oregon and hope to see as many as possible! Aside from the outdoorsy stuff, Iӭ also an avid athletics guy who will drop anything for a pick-up game. Iӭ excited to share my experiences as an RCG (recent college graduate) at Intel and hope you enjoy my blog posts!
Mona
Hello, Iӭ Mona and I’ll be sharing my experiences in the HR Pathways Rotation Program. I joined Intel as an intern in 2010, while working towards my Sociology degree from Arizona State University and joined full time in July 2011.
The HR Pathways Rotation Program allows me to rotate into three different areas of HR learning skills to better assist Intel as well as its employees. It is a great opportunity to explore the many diverse areas of HR, while staying in the loop of current HR trends. I am currently in the last weeks of my first rotation in Business Group HR, supporting the manufacturing group.
I relocated from Arizona to Oregon and am pretty excited about living here! Oregon is a great place to be! Great big trees, farmers markets, an amazing downtown and lots of locally owned restaurants. Stay tuned to hear more about my experiences in, and out, of Intel!
Nitzan
When Iӭ not appearing on the backs of magazines and buses, I work in the (not-so-very) cut-throat world of programming dynamic instrumentation engines. Focusing mostly on C/C++, you will find me hacking away (at the keyboard of course!) in my ocean-view (well, Mediterranean Sea-view) cube on Intelӳ campus in Haifa, Israel.
Likes: 15 minutes of fame, assorted nerdy pastimes and Computer Science. Dislikes: Being reminded that Iӭ not Ԓeally FamousԠ, regular working hours (which is part of the reason I love working at Intel, with its flexible work schedule!) and studying for exams.
Sejal
Hi! I’m Sejal (pronounced ‘say-gel’) and I joined Intel in 2008 as a part of the Staffing Marketing and Channels group. We help connect candidates with Intel and Intel with candidates using channels such as the Jobs at Intel web site, the Life at Intel microsite and now this blog…that’s us!
Originally from Toronto, Ontario (yes, I’m a real, breathing Canadian!), I graduated from the cornfields at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a B.A. in Communications. Soon after graduating, I made the trek over to Portland, OR to join Intel and love it here so far! Outside of work, I am a self-proclaimed Facebook addict and am slowly, but surely, finding myself Twitter-ing more and more as the days go by (Did I mention you can follow us on Twitter?). I love to dance, meet new people, try new things (especially food!), and spend time with family and friends.
Tiffany
Hi, My name is Tiffany and Iӭ the Virtual Recruiting and Marketing Program Manager for Intelӳ US College organization! I love connecting with students across the US. Part of what makes my job rewarding is that I get to meet so many unique students from various schools, all from the comfort of my own desk! In my never ending quest to find the Ԃest and BrightestԠfor Intel, I love to pulse students about their experiences as they seek internships and full time opportunities with us and other employers!
Iӭ not all business though. In my free time, Iӭ a mom to two of the craziest little boys you may ever meet! They keep me on my toes and make me laugh every day. When I am not jumping in mud puddles or trying to catch a frog for the kiddies, you might find me in the middle of some kind of remodeling job. Iӭ a glutton for punishment, I suppose. I do love the work/life balance Intel affords me and hope to share some of my perspectives with the universe. Watch for me to blog about the happenings inside US College and providing you insights on how to land a job with Intel and ultimately launch your career at Intel!
In the meantime, here are some ways you can connect with me via Twitter (@tlpeery), LinkedIn (my profile and our Intel Student Lounge group, where you can stay connected with all the activities and hiring efforts underway in US College!), Flickr and Facebook (my profile and our Intel fan page)
Valerie
Hola! Iӭ Valerie Scarsellato, a sourcer on the Strategic Recruiting Team at Intel. First, I should clarify what a ԳourcerԠis so you donӴ think I have magical powers like a Գorcererԡ A sourcer is someone that uses cool and creative techniques to research and locate passive candidates (in this case, for Intel). I have 13 years of domestic and international technical sourcing/recruiting experience in IT and Engineering. IӶe had the privilege to travel to Brazil and the Philippines to recruit in the past which I absolutely loved! IӶe worked in the corporate environment, as well as the agency world and have a very well-rounded background in full-lifecycle recruiting. IӶe been with Intel for nearly a year and enjoy sourcing for technical talent that will contribute to Intelӳ success.
Iӭ originally from Pittsburgh, PA (Go Steelers!) but moved to Phoenix 10 years ago where I met my husband, the rocket scientist (itӳ true and I love saying it), who is also from Pittsburgh! WeӲe the parents of an adorable Pembroke Corgi, Jibboo (we love animals) and enjoy traveling around to music festivals.
Looking forward to seeing you on the interwebz!
Vladimir
Hi! My name is Vladimir but I’m known as ‘VB’. I’m originally from Moscow but moved to Nizhny Novgorod in 2003 to work for Intel as a contracted construction project manager. I’ve been holding various jobs since then and in 2007 I became the Branch General Manager in Nizhny, the biggest Intel office in Russia with over 500 employees nowadays.
I started my first Intel blog (in Russian) back in 2006 and now I’m joining the Jobs@Intel Blog. You’ll see a common thread in my posts, “The Value of…”. I live with my wife and daughter, just a 2 minute walk from work, but that’s just a one of the many reasons I like to work here. I really enjoy the complexity of my job of running the operations of one of the biggest Intel Research and Development sites outside of the US. Talking to people is probably the most enjoyable part of my work so feel free to discuss my thoughts, comment on them or ask questions!
Daniel
Hi, Iӭ Daniel Loh. IӶe worked for Intel for nearly eleven months now, and joined right after I graduated from university. Prior to joining as a full-time employee, I completed a six-month internship with Intel. Currently, Iӭ an Industrial Engineer in the Assembly & Test Facilities in Penang, Malaysia.
I grew up in the lovely state of Perak in Malaysia and moved to Kedah for my tertiary studies at Northern University of Malaysia (UUM) for four years. I relocated myself again to Penang Island and started my career life right here with Intel Malaysia. IӶe gotten used to the lifestyle, food, and interesting places over on this nice island. I would love to share my ideas, thoughts and Intel experiences with you and look forward to connecting with you on this blog.
