Notably, I designed and implemented a talent acquisition strategy and process, utilizing Snagajob to manage candidate information and conduct screenings. I also created and drove effective employee engagement programs, resulting in up to an 8% increase in every store within 6 months through a bi-annual employee engagement survey. In addition, I led the development and implementation of acquisition communications to ensure a seamless transition for employees in the newly acquired locations. Show less
