Cherkea Henson
@cherkeahenson
I build stronger hiring operations, workforce strategies, and employee experiences across growing organizations.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently partnering with leaders at Fello to translate workforce needs into recruitment strategy, pipeline insights, and practical action plans across multiple business units.
I've led high-volume and multi-market hiring at AutoNation, rapid-growth recruiting and employee-lifecycle operations at US Community Solar, and technical, corporate, operational, and leadership hiring across the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico at Transcat.
At Transcat, I improved ATS and HRIS workflows, created standardized recruiting practices, and mentored recruiting team members. Earlier, I supported federal programs through recruiting and contracts administration at Signet Technologies / Covergint Federal Solutions.
My foundation in HR and general management at Dollar General includes employee relations, coaching, performance management, scheduling, onboarding, and operational accountability. I use reporting, KPIs, and cross-functional partnership to improve workflows, hiring outcomes, and employee experience.
