Strategic leader in Talent Operations driving recruitment efficiency.
What I'm looking for
I am a strategic leader in Talent Operations with a proven track record of building and leading teams to design and implement scalable, end-to-end recruiting processes. My recent role involved identifying and bringing visibility to over 1,000 contingent workers, collaborating with Legal to ensure proper contracting and compliance. I developed a standardized onboarding process that significantly reduced compliance risks and ensured accurate documentation for the entire contingent workforce.
Throughout my career, I have managed contingent workforce operations representing nearly 50% of the company's total headcount, driving consistency, risk mitigation, and process integrity at scale. I have successfully led high-performing teams, optimized recruitment processes, and implemented data-driven improvements that enhance compliance controls. My commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion has been integral to my approach, as I have developed inclusive recruitment strategies and fostered supportive cultures for diverse employees.
