Was directly responsible for collaborating with Recruiters to engage all new hires, and integrate them into Lockheed Martin, as well as delivering orientation to all new hires, engaging them throughout the security clearance process, and ensuring all compliance in regards to training, I9 and employment regulations, and security. Met with Program management regularly to maintain staffing metrics as well as develop forecasting for staffing plan and address employee relations issues. Conducted interviews, developed pipelines for job fairs and invitationals, and worked compensation for prospective employees. In fall of 2009 during a corporate reorganization I chose to move off the program to support the division with functional support, and engage HRBPs in all LM designated processes and initiatives including training and development, I9 and eVerify compliance, salary and equity review, talent management, benefits and 401K issues, as well as other LM initiatives as needed. Provided staffing support for a program with NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) and provided staffing support for proposal/new business development for the NRC client. Worked closely with internal HR, program management, sub-contractors, and corporate recruiters to ensure all identified key personnel were adequately staffed and amply engaged. Conducted screens, set up interviews, and helped all key candidates through proposal set up process. I also provided employee relations, new hire assimilation, and benefit support to local employees supporting the Energy Efficiency programs.
