After a year as a Talent Acquisition Coordinator, I was promoted into a Recruiter role at Newmont, where I led the end-to-end hiring process for a variety of corporate and technical functions across the organization. I partnered with hiring managers to understand their team needs, developed strategic sourcing plans, and delivered high-quality candidates in a competitive talent market. I managed full-cycle recruitment—from intake meetings and sourcing to interviews, offers, and onboarding—while prioritizing candidate experience, diversity, and alignment with Newmont’s values. I also played a key role in advising hiring teams on market trends, streamlining processes, and mentoring new coordinators. This role deepened my expertise in stakeholder management, candidate engagement, and building high-performing teams in a global, mission-driven organization.
