Talent Acquisition
Recruiting built as a system: sourcing channels, employer brand, and onboarding that holds on to the people you hire.
Regional HR Center of Excellence recruitment
Built recruitment and onboarding into the new NASA HR Center of Excellence. External recruiting costs fell 50% in year one.
Mass recruitment for the Durant, OK micro-mill
With production under a year away and no staffing plan, built a wave-based hiring plan, a multi-channel ad campaign, and standard screening and interview templates, using state workforce resources. Filled all roles on time or early with under 10% first-year turnover and no added HR headcount.
Indeed partnership
Piloted Indeed on our hardest-to-fill roles, won leadership funding to expand, and took the results to CMC's HR leadership team. CMC became an Indeed preferred employer, reaching 60% of applications, and Indeed became the No. 2 source of hires after referrals.
Truck driver recruitment & retention
Drivers were leaving faster than we could hire them. Found driver pay below the 25th percentile and won approval for $1–2/hr increases across the region, a $2K sign-on bonus, and targeted ads and site banners. Other regions followed on pay, and the sign-on bonus was adopted across CMC and still in place four years later.
Corporate relocation program
Relocation drew constant complaints and exceptions above 20%. Ran a vendor RFP and an employee survey, then replaced ad hoc benefits with three standard policies and a new vendor. Exceptions fell under 3% and satisfaction rose from the 80s to 97%.
SuccessFactors rollout
Partnered with HRIS on implementation of SuccessFactors HRIS, ATS, Compensation and Recruitment modules.
Early career & university recruitment
Established Epiroc's first early career and university recruitment strategy, growing US intern hiring from 2 to 16 in the program's first year.
Executive hiring
Led end-to-end hiring for VP and GM roles: job ads, candidate assessment, interviews, final decisions and candidate feedback.
Onboarding experience
Reached onboarding NPS scores of 80–90 from candidates and managers by focusing on customer experience and automation.
Employment branding function
Built the employment branding function: Best Places to Work participation, partnerships with Indeed and Glassdoor, and the "Proud to be Epiroc" series featuring career stories of top talent across the region.
Immigration provider
Ran the RFP for and implemented a new immigration provider.
HR-owned recruiting for the central region
Moved HR from posting jobs and forwarding résumés to owning the full process: kickoff meetings, screening, interview coordination and offers. Brought in recruiter training, ran biweekly staffing reviews, hired two recruiters (including for a 700-person plant with 30+ openings), and added digital marketing, referral and sign-on programs. Managers reported faster fills and better candidates.
First regional recruiter roles
Introduced the first recruiter roles into the region. They were eventually adopted across the entire company and are still in place today.
Factory start-up team
Hired a 20-person start-up team in three months and introduced new interview and onboarding processes to improve screening and retention.
Greenfield expat staffing, Clark, Philippines
Recruited and relocated 8 expats from the US to Clark, Philippines for a three-year Assembly/Test factory greenfield. The project was delivered on time and on budget.
