I am currently working as an HR Specialist for D&T Imports for Area 51 Fireworks and Blackjack Fireworks. Responsibilities include providing HR support for benefits, disciplinary actions, HR policy/procedures, onboarding/offboarding, payroll, recruitment, and scheduling for two stores. Staff ranges from 45 - 150 (season through off-season). In addition, I possess over 15 years of recruiting experience. I have successfully filled various roles in financial services, fireworks (retail/wholesale/warehouse), telecommunications, and staffing industries. I enjoy collaborating and developing relationships with hiring stakeholders to gain insights on sourcing for their roles. I also possess experience as an HR generalist, working with benefits, compensation, training and development, payroll, and worker's compensation functions. I currently hold the SHRM-CP and LinkedIn Recruiter certifications, as well as a recent NLP AI certification from Coursera, which showcase my skills and knowledge in human resources and interest in the AI space. I excel in direct sourcing, candidate assessment and full-cycle recruitment for companies.
