Tara F. Email & Phone Number

Tara F. is a NYC Teaching Fellow at NYC Public Schools. Colleagues describe her as "Tara has been great to work with at HR&A over the last year. She cares deeply about her work and her craft as a recruitment leader, and she is always pushing for ways to build a stronger pipeline of diverse candidates. Her insights have helped inform how HR&A approaches communications for recruitment and has resulted in excellent hires over the last year. She is committed to ADEI and always looking for ways to remove bias from the recruitment process and build connections with diverse candidates. Her care and dedication resulted in our largest, most diverse, and talented cohort of new hires this year. And, as a beneficiary of her efforts on finding a "unicorn" candidate for our Communications Team, I can speak personally to the results Tara brings. Tara is also a collaborative problem-solver and brainstormer, and the care she brings to her work expands into the way she treats her colleagues. Tara is kind and thoughtful in all that she does. She builds culture in ways big and small — from starting a fun, motivating Slack thread on a Friday to checking in personally to see how you're doing. She is great at what she does, and a fantastic colleague!" and "I’ve had the pleasure of calling Tara a colleague for over a year and collaborating with Tara on a recruitment pipeline for staffing talent to a high growth practice area. As recruitment manager, Tara has a critical talent for zooming in and out of the many layers in our hiring and staffing system, and this strategic mindset allows her to stay ahead of potential roadblocks so we have a strong talent pool available. Despite the demanding nature of overseeing several fast-paced recruitment pipelines simultaneously, I saw Tara maintain an unwavering commitment to ensure each candidate receives dedicated attention and I personally heard her accolades sung by the candidates I helped interview. When it comes to tailoring how data is reported out across different audiences internally, I saw Tara flex her skills in toggling between the different platforms used and collaborating with a cross-departmental team to build a much needed reporting tool that can provide high-level metrics to our executives and zoom in further to present detailed analytics to the practice area teams and People team. And as a fellow team member on Growth/People/Operations, Tara is a joyful and nurturing team leader. Whether she’s celebrates teammates in the office with balloons and treats for a birthday or sending shoutouts to our team over slack, Tara knows how to make a team member feel like they belong and are appreciated.
