Nina Marino
@ninamarino
Senior HR and Talent Acquisition professional specializing in recruitment, onboarding, and employee relations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior HR and recruitment professional with 9+ years of experience sourcing candidates, conducting interviews, and managing employee relations. I’m trusted for end-to-end recruitment and onboarding, from job posting through contracts and new-hire orientation.
I’ve led teams and improved outcomes—most notably a 20% boost in employee retention. I also manage employee engagement initiatives, monitor employee leaves and attendance, and support smoother onboarding with well-drafted onboarding documents and employment agreements.
In my recent roles, I’ve handled HR inbox coordination, resume screening, phone and Teams interviews, and kept talent pipelines and recruitment trackers up to date. I’m hands-on with tools like Sales Navigator, Signnow, and platforms such as Indeed, Seek, Jora, Jobadder, and Manatal to consistently meet daily candidate reach quotas.
