@nilsarogers
Senior talent acquisition specialist driving full-cycle, compliant hiring with DEI and ATS wins.
What I'm looking for
I’m a seasoned Talent Acquisition professional with extensive full life cycle recruiting experience across corporate, agency, and RPO environments. I source talent from high-volume hourly roles to director and C-suite executives, partnering closely with senior leadership and hiring managers on intake, workforce planning, and go-to-market recruitment strategies aligned to business objectives.
I’m recognized for reducing time-to-fill and building diverse, sustainable talent pipelines while improving recruiting operations through ATS/CRM implementations and workflow optimization. My deep expertise includes DEI recruiting, OFCCP compliance, EEO practices, and pay equity, with a consistent history of exceeding KPIs and SLAs and delivering an outstanding candidate experience.
In my recent roles, I’ve streamlined end-to-end recruiting by integrating ATS/CRM systems and optimizing workflows—cutting time-to-fill by 20% for critical clinical positions. I’ve also led DEI hiring strategies aligned with OFCCP and EEO regulations, strengthened pipelines through market intelligence and competitor analysis, and supported employer branding and onboarding for technical hires.
