Achievements: I was hired on as a contractor with Acme Plastics/shopPOPdisplays to lead and manage their 2023 hiring initiative, as they experienced substantial growth over the last several years. During my 8-month contract as the only recruiter and talent acquisition expert, I successfully filled over 20 positions across multiple segments of the business, ranging from Entry-level, Associate level, and all the way up to Management level. I was able to exceed the organization’s hiring expectations by filling every position that was budgeted for in a timely manner, while maintaining a high level of satisfaction amongst all hiring managers, department heads, and executive level personnel. In doing so, I saved the company thousands of dollars by eliminating their traditional hiring practice of utilizing staffing agencies for all their hiring needs.
