Prior to this appointment, I had met an aggressive two-month window to stand-up a new standalone company following the private equity acquisition, where I provided strong project management and leadership in navigating change while ensuring timely execution. G&W LABORATORIES, South Plainfield, NJ | 2016 – 2019 Director, Human Resources and Talent Management (2016 – 2019) I was successful in setting the overall direction and execution of best-in-class talent sourcing and assessment tools, recruitment, and on-boarding strategies for all levels of talent across 3 U.S. plant sites (aggregately 840 FTEs), while providing human resources and employee relations leadership to the NJ union plant. While in this role, I led efforts that enabled us to significantly reduce grievances and helmed a talent acquisition rethink, while improving process efficiency and stakeholder experience. Contributing to this rethink, I overhauled legacy recruitment practices, built a best-in-class recruitment model that fostered a more collaborative effort, rebuilt the onboarding process, and reduced agency fees for non-executive levels by bringing this function in house to provide a better candidate experience.
