@yemiolabode
Talent acquisition specialist driving hires, retention, and onboarding excellence.
What I'm looking for
I am a Talent Acquisition and HR professional with over three years of hands-on experience in full-cycle recruitment, onboarding, and employee engagement. I consistently improve hiring outcomes and candidate experience through strategic sourcing and process optimization.
At Paladin Security Ltd, I onboarded 25–30 new hires monthly, boosted monthly hires by 30%, and helped achieve over 80% employee retention by enhancing onboarding and engagement strategies. I also generated $15,000 in wage subsidy revenue within two months by leading funding applications and agency partnerships.
My background includes roles as Recruiter, HR Generalist, HR Assistant, and Recruitment & Talent Acquisition specialist across contract and permanent positions, giving me exposure to HRIS tools, policy writing, compliance, and talent pipeline development. I partner effectively with hiring managers to screen, interview, and shortlist candidates while supporting HR operations and data accuracy.
I bring strong communication, relationship-building, analytical thinking, and organizational skills to drive hiring success and improve workforce readiness. I am committed to contributing HR expertise to a forward-looking organization focused on talent growth and retention.
