My key achievement here involved hiring and onboarding ~400 employees. In doing so, I also streamlined the recruitment cycle, thereby reducing the joining period to three days and the onboarding period to within a week. Additionally, I encouraged and welcomed people from all backgrounds, education, age, sex, and religion to acclimate to the organization’s culture and spend a few hours learning about the mission and purpose. Consequently, due to the simplified hiring and onboarding process, I not only achieved the hiring goals within the set timeframe but was recruited culturally fit talent.

As a result, I was able to boost the number of employees from 12 to 100 in just a short time and also managed to successfully attain a retention rate of 80%. To achieve this, I initiated an internal referral program, leveraged job boards and posted detailed job descriptions, collaborated with universities, and created open house programs. Additionally, I created a compensation plan that rewarded employees who stayed for at least six months and achieved their goals with bonuses and raises. To further support retention, I encouraged leaders and managers to engage with their teams and understand their concerns to promote job satisfaction. Through these efforts, I grew employee satisfaction and retention significantly, leading to a higher level of commitment and loyalty. These efforts also contributed to creating a diverse workforce and a more inclusive work environment.My other successes included:- PARTNERED WITH LEADERSHIP: Successfully collaborated with senior leadership to incorporate performance reviews, improving employee morale, communication, and engagement.- LEADERSHIP COACHING: Coached CEO/CFO on soft skills and best practices leading to increased effectiveness and EQ.- AUTOMATED HR PROCESSES: Incorporated ADP HRIS, resulting in increased employee morale, timely and accurate payroll processing, and an improved HR system.

As a result, I was able to develop deliverables and timelines for project completion based on the results of the assessments and surveys.
