SkillNet provides the critical technology link between top retailers and their customers; linking in-store POS systems, online eCommerce, and global inventory, making for a seamless customer experience. Skillnet was a struggling company when I arrived, but I knew I could help this organization turn their Talent Acquisition process around. They had been in business for 20 years, but they hadn’t evolved their recruiting process in any of that time: they still used a combination of email and excel. Nothing was tracked: not candidates, pipelines, interviews, feedback, time to hire, NOTHING. I was truly astonishing.I made the case for, and implemented, their first ATS. This dramatically improved our ability to track job openings, candidates, feedback, plan interviews, and start to make some progress internally, and with their clients' projects. Unfortunately, facing some greater market headwinds, the Board of Directors decided to reorganize the People Operations team, and - unfortunately (slightly for me, but deeply for them) - took the entire Talent Acquisition function offshore

As their first TA resource, I created their entire hiring process: establishing an efficient hiring process, conducting manager training sessions, improving DEI results, and overseeing a marked improvement in employee retention.During my tenure, our agency gained respect as a major thought-leader among digital marketers - particularly in Paid Search and Paid Social Advertising - and became an attractive target for acquisition.My Areas of Impact:* Talent Acquisition: - I managed the full talent lifecycle, including job marketing, recruitment, candidate selection, social media, hiring manager training, and employee retention. - Inaugurated new recruiting strategy, building process from the ground-up. Designed new forms to facilitate communication and stakeholder buy-in for Position Requisition, New Hire Approval, Personnel Action (Raise/Promotion), and even added a 90-day onboarding follow-up. - Trained management on interview best-practices, and guided decision-making process. Negotiated all salary offers. - Dramatically reduced time-to-hire from previous process, saving the company millions of dollars in agency fees. * Inclusion & Diversity: Inaugurated blind screening process to eliminate as much bias as possible from the screening process.* Employee Development/Retention: - Redesigned company's "Annual Review" process to take focus away from the traditional high-anxiety format (single pressure-filled event, backwards-focused) to a more forward-looking goals-focused conversation. - Redesigned our PIP form to redirect our development program from focusing on punishment, to concentrating on goals/improvement.
