Addison, Texas, Us

Head of Talent Acquisition responsible for developing the foundation of talent acquisition for Bar Louie, creating candidate sourcing strategies to fill critical talent pipelines, growing the company's employment brand, and drive operational excellence by transforming the processes, procedures, systems, and team members to meet business needs and compliance requirements. Reporting to the CHRO, I lead the talent acquisition function and team for the Field and Corporate organizations that hire over 350 exempt employees and over 7,000 non-exempt employees annually across the US. Continuously train managers and recruiters on behavioral interviewing, compliance requirements, and a wide variety of recruiting best practices.I manage a team who handles the full life-cycle recruiting, interviewing and hiring process that is efficient, effective and offers a positive candidate and hiring manager experience from the first contact through on-boarding. Work closely with key business stakeholders and partners including business leaders, HR partners, finance, legal, and operations to coordinate on creative strategies, best practices, training and compliance. Independently created the recruitment process and data analytics by implementing a new applicant tracking system (iCIMS) integrated with the HRIS system (Ultimate Software). Managed the change management and training of the new hiring process with over 500 managers. Prior to this system, the organization did not work with requisitions, did not have the ability to proactively recruit, the offer and onboarding process was a paper process with employees hired all over the nation, and key compliance requirements were not met or managed effectively. By implementing this system, I was able to provide the business with consistency, accuracy, metrics, compliance with efficiency and simplicity.
