Sonya Sessom, Shrm-Cp Email & Phone Number

➥ I am a resourceful, multi-faceted, and strategic professional with a seasoned talent acquisition (TA) background, a history of optimizing and scaling recruitment operations, and a talent for aligning teams around common goals. I combine over 12 years’ experience implementing best-in-class TA policies for multiple high-profile organizations; building top-tier pipelines of diverse, motivated, and highly qualified job candidates; driving increasing levels of employee engagement, satisfaction, and retention; and carefully shaping the processes and policies that sustain an efficient, productive, and highly competitive organization.➥ I excel at identifying and remediating gaps in TA operations, enhancing the reach and impact of all recruitment initiatives, continually reducing time-to-fill and KPI metrics, maximizing employee retention and morale, and overhauling and optimizing my organization’s TA tools, assets, and resources.➥ I am a dependable and supportive collaborator who is a pillar of strength for her team. From the outset, I establish a tone of urgency and professionalism by setting clear expectations, getting everyone on the same page, encouraging transparent communications, and leading by example.➥ I am a proficient multitasker with the unique ability to learn, unlearn, and relearn; because success is less about what you already know and more about expanding your knowledge base. I have the agility to pick up new skills, adapt them to my needs, and respond to challenges with competence and conviction.➥ I have the communication skills to clearly articulate my vision, persuade people to take action, and get the ball rolling in the right direction. Whether I’m sending out emails, communicating with a partner, negotiating with a vendor, or anything in between; I communicate quickly, accurately, and effectively.☛ Key Skills ☚ ✦ Strategic Planning & Execution✦ Talent Acquisition & Retention✦ Employee Relations/Engagement✦ Relationship Management✦ Mentor/Coach/Facilitator✦ Human Resources✦ Change Management✦ Team Leadership ✦ Cross-Functional Collaboration✦ Big-Picture Strategist✦ Leadership Coaching✦ Regulatory Compliance
