About Jeff Gardner

I am passionate about creating efficient and effective hiring practice\'s that will help maximize an organizations culture and business success. In my role as the Director of Talent Acquisition at Ionic, I played a pivotal role in building a robust and successful organization. Our achievements included over 40% YoY revenue growth and a noteworthy acquisition. I implemented strategic hiring practices, reducing voluntary attrition, and achieved a 100% increase in company headcount within two years, all while eliminating staffing agency expenses, saving the company over $150K annually.My commitment to fostering positive workplace cultures extends to employer branding efforts. At Ionic, we secured multiple awards for Best Company Culture, Happiness, and Professional Development. I truly care about the employee experience and have spearheaded programs at SoFi/Galileo, such as the \"Launching into Galileo\" onboarding initiative and Inclusion and Belonging Training, which was required training for all SoFi employees. Previously, as an HR Business Partner at NICE inContact, I provided strategic HR support, implementing data-driven decisions that aligned compensation with industry standards. Beyond my professional endeavors, I hold an MBA with a concentration in High-Performance Organizations from Westminster College.
