Kiira Hjert-Bernardi

I come with 9+ years of Talent Acquisition/HR experience. I am passionate about recruiting, building strong relationships, connecting with qualified candidates for each role. I'm an energetic, hard working, professional, organized, creative person while keeping a positive attitude even when faced with challenges and obstacles. I also take pride in providing each candidate a good experience as well as caring about employee engagement and success. I have trained, coached and managed a global team of 19 recruiters providing guidance and performance metrics (time to fill, quality to fill, cost to fill) while keeping motivated and encouraged. I also focus on DEI hiring in both corporate and field hiring (entry level/high volume to hard to fill executive roles).
