About Dylan Agro

I am a Human Resources Generalist at Hayward Lumber, a 100-year-old lumber company on the central coast of California. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from University at Buffalo, with a focus on Human Resources. I have over three years of experience in HR, including recruiting, onboarding, training, and development. My passion for connecting with people from diverse backgrounds and supporting their growth stems from my previous career as a bartender. I enjoy the challenge of identifying and nurturing the newest talent in the lumber industry, and convincing them of the career opportunities and stability that Hayward Lumber can offer. I guide candidates through the recruitment process with compassion and coaching, and I understand their unique perspectives. I also organize and evaluate training and development initiatives for employees, and I maintain all employee training records. I work with branch leadership to assist with new hire orientations, and I act as an advocate for new hires. I have contributed to multiple successful hires and retention of employees at Hayward Lumber.
