At Talent Connections, we thrive on helping organizations build strong leadership foundations. That’s why we were honored to serve Enlace Health in the successful placement of their first Head of HR.
As a growing organization, Enlace Health recognized the need for a strategic HR leader to drive talent initiatives, enhance company culture, and support business growth. Understanding the significance of this inaugural role, our team conducted a targeted search to identify a leader from a progressive health company who could shape and scale the HR function from the ground up.
Our candidate, Amanda Allen, stood out as the perfect fit, bringing a wealth of experience in HR leadership, talent strategy, and organizational development. With her expertise, Enlace Health is well-positioned to cultivate a high-performing workforce and a dynamic, people-first culture.
At Talent Connections, we believe that great companies are built by great people. That’s why we take pride in placing HR leaders who drive lasting impact – leaders like Marlo Gillette, who has been a leader at NASCO for over 18 years.
When NASCO needed a strategic HR leader to help shape its workforce and culture, we connected them with Marlo as an HR Director. Over the years, she has played a key role in strengthening NASCO’s HR function, fostering a people-first culture and driving talent strategies that have fueled the company’s long-term success. Her leadership and vision helped position NASCO as a thriving organization, and today, she serves as Head of HR, leading the charge in building an engaged and high-performing workforce.
Marlo’s journey exemplifies how the right HR leadership can make a lasting difference in an organization’s growth and success. We are honored to have played a part in this partnership and look forward to NASCO’s continued success under her leadership.
At Talent Connections, we excel at solving complex hiring challenges. When Delta Air Lines needed to scale its HR function rapidly, they turned to our Recruitment Process Outsourcing team to get the job done.
With a nationwide need for 200+ HR professionals, Delta sought a strategic partner who could ensure speed, quality, and efficiency – all of which we delivered. Our dedicated project team executed a streamlined, high-touch recruitment strategy – identifying and placing top HR talent across the country while maintaining the highest standards of excellence.
The result? Every role was filled on time with top-tier candidates who were the right fit for Delta’s culture and goals. This project not only met immediate hiring demands. It also strengthened Delta’s long-term HR infrastructure with exceptional talent.
From high-volume hiring to strategic workforce solutions, Talent Connections is proud to help great companies like Delta build and scale with confidence.
At Talent Connections, we don’t just fill roles – we build lasting partnerships that help great companies thrive. Our relationship with Cousins Properties, a marquee name in commercial real estate, is a perfect example.
Cousins trusted us to place Deborah Schwarz – its pivotal Head of HR who played a critical role in shaping the company’s talent strategy and culture. When she later decided to pursue a consulting career, she departed on great terms – leaving behind a strong HR foundation.
Recognizing the impact of our first placement, Cousins once again turned to Talent Connections to identify their next Head of HR, ensuring continued leadership and stability within their organization. By deeply understanding their culture, goals, and the evolving needs of the business, we successfully placed Francis Wetherington –another outstanding HR leader who carried their vision forward.
We are proud to be a trusted partner in helping Cousins build and sustain a best-in-class HR function.
At Talent Connections, we take pride in not only placing top talent, but also in fostering meaningful partnerships that support career and leadership growth. Our work with Hemophilia of Georgia is a perfect example of how strategic HR hiring strengthens a purpose-filled organization.
We initially placed Lisa Williams Coleman as Director of HR. She quickly made an impact, leading to her well-earned promotion to VP of HR then to Chief HR Officer. Recognizing the importance of building a strong HR team, she turned to Talent Connections once again – this time, to help her find a critical right-hand leader to serve as her number two.
By understanding the organization’s mission, culture, and evolving needs, we successfully placed a talented HR professional who could seamlessly support Lisa and drive key initiatives forward. This collaboration underscores our commitment to building great HR teams with incredible leaders who trust us to build their teams.
At Talent Connections, we specialize in helping companies build best-in-class HR teams, especially during times of transformation. When Veritiv made the strategic move to establish its new headquarters in Atlanta, they needed the right HR talent in place to ensure a smooth transition and long-term success.
With 10+ full-time HR roles to fill – ranging from senior HR Business Partners and Compensation roles to Talent Management and Labor Relations roles, plus a team of contract recruiters – Veritiv turned to Talent Connections for expertise and execution. Leveraging our deep network and market insights, we quickly identified and placed high-impact HR professionals who could support the company’s expansion and growth in Atlanta.
Our ability to deliver quality talent, at speed, across multiple levels ensured Veritiv had the right people in place to drive business success from day one. As Atlanta continues to thrive as a business hub, we take pride in being the go-to partner for companies looking to build exceptional HR teams in this competitive market.
At Talent Connections, we understand that strong HR leadership is the backbone of a thriving workforce. When Aaron’s newly appointed Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) set out to elevate their field HR function, they needed a strategic partner to help build a team that could drive business success at scale.
With a focus on upgrading HR Business Partners and HR Managers across stores and regions nationwide, we worked closely with the CHRO to assess talent needs, identify high-impact HR leaders, and deliver professionals who could enhance employee engagement, strengthen culture, and support operations in a rapidly evolving retail landscape.
Through our targeted and strategic hiring approach, we successfully rebuilt and upgraded Aaron’s field HR function, ensuring the company had the right talent in place to lead their workforce forward. This partnership not only strengthened their HR capability. It also positioned the national retailer for long-term success in an increasingly competitive industry.
At Talent Connections, we take pride in helping purpose-driven organizations build high-impact teams. When Habitat for Humanity, one of the most respected nonprofit organizations, needed to outsource their entire recruiting function, they entrusted us with the responsibility of finding top talent to support their mission.
With a focus on both corporate and field roles, we became an extension of their team – delivering skilled professionals who could drive their vision forward. From hiring strategic leaders at headquarters to placing critical roles in the field, we ensured Habitat for Humanity had the right talent in place to support communities worldwide.
This partnership not only reinforced our expertise in nonprofit talent acquisition but also demonstrated our ability to seamlessly manage and elevate an organization’s recruiting function, allowing them to focus on what matters most: Building homes, communities, and hope.
At Talent Connections, we know that the right HR leader can be a game-changer for an organization. When Georgia Urology needed to hire their first-ever Head of HR, they partnered with us to find an executive who could shape their people strategy and help drive business success.
We identified and placed Dan Fellner – a standout HR leader who quickly became an integral part of the executive team, bringing strategic vision, operational excellence, and a deep commitment to organizational culture. In just six months, following the retirement of the organization’s CEO, Dan was promoted to Chief Executive Officer – a testament to his leadership impact and ability to drive results at the highest level.
This success story highlights the power of strategic HR leadership and reinforces our expertise in placing top talent that not only thrives in their roles, but also transforms organizations from the inside out.
