Simone Jones

I am a highly-motivated professional with extensive years of experience in several HR functions. I serve as a resource and candidate advocate on employee's related matters, supporting various human resources programs, enhancing continuous improvement, eliminating roadblocks, and improving processes for successful execution. I manage candidates through the entire interview and hiring processes, from assessing candidate qualifications for current open positions, negotiating offers, and initiating onboarding for a new hire. I consistently deliver high-quality strategies, documents, candidates' profiles, and monthly updates in compliance with established service levels.

As a creative thinker and problem-solver, I work closely with the management team and subject matter experts to generate ideas, leverage resources, and share information to provide outstanding customer service and tactical support to the employee population. I am a good listener and a natural communicator, adept at coaching with exceptional people management skills. I possess a strong drive to excel, hence remain current on industry trends and practices in the areas of talent and leadership development to meet and exceed organization expectations. I achieved multiple awards, including the 2018 Values Award: Ever Better, 2016 Values Award: People First, 2015 Values Award: Ethical Leadership, 2014 Values Award: Fun, and 2012 Store Manager of the Quarter

My mission is to always position myself with purpose-driven companies open to progressive strategies in performance transformation and change management. My practical team-building and leadership experience in a highly complex and dynamic business setting helps me to create a positive culture in the workplace, increase efficiency, and improve morale.
