@ekaetteubong
Strategic HR specialist driving people-first, data-driven talent solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a strategic, people-oriented HR specialist with over nine years of experience across consulting, media, energy, and engineering sectors. I combine certification (SPHRi, CIPM) with hands-on expertise in recruitment, performance management, L&D, and employee engagement.
I have led end-to-end recruitment and onboarding programs, administered performance appraisal systems, and designed leadership and career development initiatives that improved talent pipelines and employee satisfaction. I have implemented ISO-compliant processes and automated performance management across multiple organisations.
My achievements include administering payroll for 200+ staff including expatriates, improving onboarding satisfaction to 90%, increasing talent pipeline capacity by 40%, and reducing workplace accidents by 50% through targeted training. I use HRIS/ATS tools and HR data analytics to deliver evidence-based HR decisions.
I am known for fostering performance-driven cultures, ensuring compliance with labour laws and ISO standards, and partnering with leadership on workforce planning, compensation design, and succession strategies. I seek to apply my blend of strategic HR thinking and operational execution to help organisations grow and retain top talent.
