About Gabrielle Guido

I am a Human Resource professional with 4+ years of experience spanning high-performance recruiting and HR generalist work, currently supporting 300+ employees across office and warehouse environments. I graduated from Northern Illinois University in December 2021 earning a Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management and achieved magnum cum laude recognition upon completion of my degree. Upon graduation, I immediately began my career in HR as a top-performing agency recruiter, placing highly sought after talent for elite trading firms in major cities across North America and England. This experience sharpened my relationship building, negotiation, and business partnership skills. For the past 2 years, I have been an HR Generalist at a distribution company where I handle employee relations, onboarding, benefits, payroll, performance management and more for a diverse workforce. I regularly partner with leadership, conduct investigations, and have taken on managerial level responsibilities. With experience supporting both employees and leadership, I focus on driving engagement, fostering positive culture, and aligning HR practices with organizational goals. I am looking to advance in my HR career to a role where I can lead and mentor teams, shape culture, deliver strategic impact, and continue building strong, people-focused workplaces.
