What I'm looking for

I seek a senior TA role where I can lead scalable, data-driven recruitment, drive automation, mentor teams, and partner with business leaders to deliver strategic hiring and diversity initiatives.

I am a Talent Acquisition Manager with 12+ years of experience building scalable, data-driven recruitment systems across corporate and staffing environments. I specialize in recruitment automation, ATS implementation, workforce planning, and delivering measurable improvements in efficiency and quality of hire.

At Paychex, I scaled headcount from 350 to 1,700 over four years, led a team of 10 recruiters, implemented iCIMS to save 40–50 recruiter hours per month, and managed a recruitment budget of ~USD 500K while improving time-to-fill and offer-to-hire metrics.

I partner closely with business leaders, global TA, HR Operations, and legal to align hiring with strategic goals, drive diversity and inclusion initiatives, launch programs like Apprenticeship in compliance with The Apprentices Act, and use analytics to optimize recruitment decisions.
