@jacquelinepellenz
Experienced talent acquisition leader specializing in full-cycle, remote-first recruiting.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Talent Acquisition professional with over nine years of success supporting corporate and RPO environments through full-cycle, remote-first recruiting. I partner closely with hiring managers to deliver high-quality talent, reduce time-to-fill, and improve recruiting metrics using ATS and CRM platforms such as Workday, Greenhouse, Oleeo, and Phenom.
I have led targeted sourcing efforts for engineering, sales, and HR roles across US and UK markets, driven intern-to-full-time conversion improvements, and reduced agency reliance through direct sourcing. I also spearheaded ATS migrations, authored recruitment best-practice documentation, and mentor junior recruiters to raise candidate quality and hiring efficiency.
