Author name: Lisa A. Burke

Lisa A. Burke is a talent acquisition consultant and freelance business writer who has placed candidates across an unusually wide range of functions — accounting, finance, IT, technology, marketing, sales, and healthcare. Born and raised in New York City and now based in the Hudson Valley, she began her career teaching in the New York City public school system, and transitioned from the Board of Education to talent acquisition and business writing in 2013. She credits that classroom experience with the skill that defines her writing: explaining complicated systems to people encountering them for the first time without talking down to anyone. She holds a B.A. in Education from Hunter College, CUNY, and completed master's-level coursework in Special Education at Mercy College. At Nurofile, Lisa is the publication's explainer-in-chief. She covers the foundational layer of modern hiring — what an applicant tracking system actually is and how it shapes the hiring process, how long a resume should really be at each career stage, how AI is being applied across recruitment, pre-employment assessments, gamification in hiring, and the transformation of background checks with AI. Her articles are the entry points most readers hit first, and she treats that responsibility seriously: definitions that are actually correct, benefits and caveats presented together, and selection criteria a hiring team can use the same day. Her breadth across industries gives her a practical check on vendor claims — a feature that matters in one vertical is often noise in another, and her writing says so. She reviews foundational and explainer content by other Nurofile contributors for clarity and accuracy. Away from work she is a sketch artist, reader, and long-distance bicyclist.
