Paulina Zhou

I’m an emerging HR and recruitment professional with a practical, people-focused approach to staffing coordination. I support end-to-end recruitment needs—phone screens, interview scheduling, reference checks, and candidate sourcing—while keeping processes organized and responsive in fast-paced environments.

In my Operational HR & Recruitment Intern role at Randstad, I conducted 10+ phone screens and helped coordinate delivery of 10+ interviews across 10+ client job openings. I also completed 10+ reference checks, maintained a talent pool for urgent vacancies, and managed high-volume daily recruitment administration through Dialpad inbound calls and stakeholder follow-up.

I bring hands-on HR administration strength through HRIS/ATS updates and careful data management. I updated and migrated candidate data in Connext during a system transition, ensuring availability, employment status, contact details, and contract information were accurate and redeployment opportunities were reflected.

I’m equally confident in onboarding and compliance support, including employment documents, safety training follow-ups, and certifications such as first aid and forklift operations. Previously, as an HR Assistant with the International Rescue Committee (IRC), I maintained HRIS records and employee documentation with 100% audit compliance, supported documentation for 10+ staff and 20+ volunteers, and improved donor and stakeholder outcomes through communications work that increased sponsorship funding by 20%.
