Robert Merrill
Talent Acquisition Expert and Hiring Specialist
A driven talent futurist and thought leader, I help companies see the future with data & intelligent analysis, but make sense of it through actionable, repeatable & scalable talent playbooks.
I build operations & systems that "disappear" because they work smoothly & effortlessly, enabling companies to hire faster, retain longer & attract more diverse, inclusive talent to support their unique talent mission.
I have succeeded in Fortune 100 to seed-round companies and have been especially successful in any company experiencing hyper-scale growth (or suffering from lack of leadership during growth).
