Mohawk Lifts

Human Resources Manager

Hired to act as liaison between HR and MD&A Employees to support benefits needs and employee issues including open enrollment and administrative duties.  As needs in the department rapidly changed post-pandemic, MD&A required an on staff recruiter which I quickly adapted my role to fill this need.  Researched, promoted, and implemented use of Linkedin recruitment tools to assist with a more proactive recruiting process to increase the number of qualified applicants for open roles.  Worked effectively in HR Generalist duties during a colleague's extended absence.
