SKILLS
ABOUT AUDRA MAHONEY
As an operations and workforce leader with 14+ years in the staffing industry, I’ve built my career around one core focus: helping people and businesses work better- together. I started on the front lines as a recruiter and grew into regional operations leadership, where I led large, multistate teams and drove performance through data, process improvement, and people first strategy. Along the way, I developed a deep understanding of what actually happens inside businesses- where things break down, where opportunities are missed, and what it takes to create sustainable growth. Today, as a Workforce Development Consultant with Louisiana Works, I bring that experience to the broader community- connecting employers, educators, and workforce resources to solve real challenges. My role isn’t just about programs or funding, it’s about helping businesses navigate workforce decisions, uncover gaps, and access the right solutions to move forward. I’m especially passionate about-Translating workforce programs into real business value-Helping employers think differently about hiring, training, and retention-Bridging the gap between what companies say they need and what’s actually happening on the ground I’ve always been someone who sees what’s possible beyond the current state and I’m energized by building practical, people centered solutions that create long term impact.
