Reported to the CEO, and active member of the Executive team.As the head of HR, I lead a department of three and together we built a better and more fulfilling work environment for all employees, while making sure we aligned with the company goals. This included creating new initiatives such as a company-wide referral program, standardizing performance reviews, launching a business partner program consisting of monthly meetings with heads of departments to address issues and develop mid and long-term strategies related to employee relations, retention, and engagement. One of our most satisfying achievements was to have established the HR team as a reliable, respectful, and confidential go-to entity for professional and personal challenges & victories.I was in charge of leadership coaching and I proud myself in supporting each newly promoted leader by meeting them on a regular basis and by sharing useful and inspiring resources.Purposely focused on HR strategies, I enjoy identifying challenges and finding solutions.I believe in a culture of kindness where everyone can bring their whole self to work and feel valued for who they are and not only for what they do.

Working closely with Hiring Managers, I was responsible for the recruitment of all types of roles, particularly Design, Marketing, and Finance/Accounting positions. With a strong focus on business objectives and exceptional candidate experience, I covered full recruitment cycle from writing Job Descriptions to creating and presenting offers. I am proud to have coached responsive leaders on BC legislation, best practices and interview techniques. I contributed to a strong culture where all stakeholders were valued and recognized. This manifested through listening to, caring for and empowering employees and candidates.

As the only recruiter for a 1200-strong organization, I was responsible for the high-volume recruitment of talent at all levels for all Canadian locations, including Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. This role covered the full recruitment cycle, involving background & references checks and offer letters. I identified staffing needs by fostering fruitful relationships with Hiring Managers to understand their department and the dynamic of their teams. With the trust of the HR Manager, I established effective talent attraction channels (being a panelist at key events, direct sourcing, niche job boards, and networking events). I also developed the National Campus Recruitment strategy. I was involved in two D&I inspirational initiatives (Hard of hearing and 55+). I filled 153 roles in 12 months, and I shortened the recruitment cycle by 50% during the first 6 months.

After being the facilitator of this great government program helping francophones integrate the BC labour market, I happily became the manager. I am proud to have hired a motivating facilitator and to have managed a dedicated team of two. I was in charge of developing the program within governmental strict guidelines and of all expenses. I nourished solid relationships with potential employers from all industries to become the French talent source of choice. In 12 months, we successfully helped 33 individuals reach their professional goals.The FILM (Francophone Integrating the Labour Market) program was a Provincial initiative helping francophone job seekers integrate the Labour Market. It consisted of 4 weeks of intensive full-time training course and then 12 weeks of paid internship/ or job placement.During the first four weeks, participants became familiar with the labour market and explored opportunities depending on their personal plan and goals.Through workshops promoting Resume and Cover Letter creation, job search on various platforms, understanding of their own skills, and interview simulations (face-to-face and by phone), participants built strong profiles and their knowledge about local organizations, and also their self-confidence, and their ability to join the workforce.

I created the company from scratch and I built a solid client base for Translation services and Corporate French classes. I managed all accounts and all contractors, and I created all policies, documentation, processes and marketing strategies.

I taught French to Corporate clients, including Law firms, IT organizations and Federal Government agencies. Classes were either in group or in private (one-on-one) settings. I helped many individuals reach their personal and professional goals.
