Bilingual HR Specialist with 10+ years leading compliant recruiting, training, and labor relations to improve workforce performance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual HR professional with 10+ years of experience in recruitment, HR development, and soft skills training across NGOs, healthcare, engineering, consulting, education, and automotive parts distribution. I’m known for building practical HR systems that translate directly into better workforce outcomes.
In my current role as an HR Specialist, I lead full-cycle recruitment, administer E-Verify, and ensure OSHA compliance by updating safety protocols and training staff. I also drive measurable improvement—boosting labor engagement from 68% to 78% and growing the bilingual workforce from 25% to 40% through targeted recruitment and development strategies.
Earlier, I designed and delivered large-scale training and recruitment solutions, including programs for 2,000+ students as a Consultant and Instructor at Transforma HC. I also contributed to policy and structure building—developing the University Pedagogical Model and related recruitment/hiring policies at La Salle University Ecuador.
Leadership roles strengthened my operational impact: as Human Resources Director at Riobamba Provincial General Hospital, I supervised payroll and health & safety compliance and helped reduce maternity mortality from 3/10 to 0/10 through administrative policy redesign and staff renewal. At Cardno (now Stantec), I led international recruitment for technical and executive roles and contributed to a 30% increase in contract acquisitions.
