At Arauco, my focus is finding top talent and supporting all salary-level recruitment efforts for our corporate office and production plants in North America. I am responsible for the full recruitment cycle from intake meeting to hire. I recruit for entry, mid-level, and management roles in fields like Production, Quality, Safety, Purchasing, Human Resources, Accounting, Finance, Customer Service, IT, Supply Chain/Logistics, and Administration.

As a Project Manager at UKG, I led client facing SaaS implementations for the Pro WFM product suite that ranged from 3-month to year-long deployments. I played a critical role in synchronizing diverse teams, driving project deadlines, facilitating stakeholder communication, and tracking project scope and budget. Through rigorous pre-project planning, constant communication with stakeholders, and risk management, my team and I were able to meet go-live deadlines and ensure a successful implementation. • Facilitated communication with stakeholders by maintaining group smart sheets (RAID Log, Project Plan, Timeline), scheduling ad hoc calls, sending meeting minutes, and conducting weekly customer-facing and internal meetings. • Acted as a liaison between Managed Services, Professional Services, and Product Management to troubleshoot project issues, track progress, and ensure that all contractual agreements were met. • Implemented UKG HRIS and WFM systems that automated timekeeping, accruals, time off requests, onboarding, and payroll to enable customer teams to stay in compliance and streamline processes. • Utilized MS Excel, MS Project, Smartsheet, Salesforce, JIRA, ServiceNow, and Openair to ensure that projects were completed within time, budget, and scope. • Created project plans of up to 52 weeks and hosted kick-off meetings in-person and virtually to convey key information to stakeholders. • Scheduled meetings that aligned with project resource availability and calendars, often with very short notice. • Developed and maintained relationships with customers to effectively identify risks and roadblocks to the project. • Approved and submitted client invoices at the end of every month and answered customer queries regarding charges. • Used SAP Concur to arrange travel and submit expense reports when conducting onsite visits.

I was promoted and oversaw all direct placement, temp-to-perm, and temporary positions. As recruitment manager, my responsibility was to implement new and effective processes for sourcing talent, driving organizational goals, increasing call and hire volume, and leading communication between leadership and internal teams. • Oversaw 12 direct reports and the associated assignments of up to 90 roles to staff and ran weekly reports to track department progress. • Led weekly WIP meetings and presented hiring progress, risks, and areas of improvement to executives. • Spearheaded the initiative to upgrade several hiring platforms (such as LinkedIn Recruiter Lite and ZipRecruiter Premium) to take a proactive approach to talent acquisition and increase the volume of high-quality candidates. • Conducted initial phone screenings, and in person interviews for open roles inside and outside of the organization. • Reviewed work orders to ensure all information is present and is compliant with company policy before assigning to a team member. • Worked closely with department heads on other teams such as HR, sales, and accounting to improve processes and implement them. • Implemented practices that increased team productivity such as daily, weekly, and monthly hiring goals, department morning meetings, and group outings to reward performance. • Authored articles about talent acquisition on the company website to increase organic traffic and promote customer engagement. • Worked with HR to implement ADP software and conducted training for my department to increase software utilization.

Responsible for full cycle recruiting for temporary, temp-to-perm, and direct placement positions in the healthcare, construction, retail, logistics, IT, and manufacturing space. I was integral to sourcing, onboarding, and managing talent for national construction projects and store resets under tight deadlines. • Conducted phone screenings for applicants and maintained a high daily call volume. • Submitted projects for bids to local electrical, carpentry, plumbing, and drywall installation companies when the hiring process proved ineffective. • Sent employees site details and collaborated with site leads to ensure that employees had accurate instructions for arriving onsite (when and where to arrive, what tools/PPE to bring, site plans) • Collaborated with the sales team and customer site leads to ensure that the job description and interview questions are tailored to the role so the best candidates could be selected. • Managed employees across time zones by facilitating communication between employees and site leads, as well as conducting timecard validation. • Assisted the human resources department with onboarding new hires that included sending the offer letter, i9 completion, and background checks. • Researched and engaged with universities, social media, and professionals at hiring events to increase talent pool. • Scheduled interviews and made travel arrangements for in person interviews and managed pre-employment background checks. • Specialized in hiring roles for reset projects such as Kohls-Sephora, Home Depot, Lowes, Target, and Party City.
