About Jessica Yarnell

I believe great recruiting is equal parts strategy, storytelling, and genuine human connection. Over the years, I’ve built experience across staff recruiting, learning and development, college recruiting, and social media marketing, giving me a full view of how to attract, engage, and grow top talent.I’m passionate about connecting the right people with the right opportunities, creating learning experiences that help teams thrive, and building authentic employer brands that actually resonate—because buzzwords don’t build culture, people do.Curious by nature and energized by collaboration, I’m always looking for ways to make the employee experience smarter, stronger, and more human.Customer Driven | Recruiting E••••••••@gmail.com Core Competencies Talent Acquisition & Recruitment Strategy | Learning & Development Program Design | College & Early Career Recruiting | Employer Branding & Social Media Marketing | Candidate Experience & Engagement | Workforce Planning & Team Collaboration | Onboarding & Employee Retention | Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Advocacy | Relationship Building & Stakeholder Partnership | Process Improvement & Talent Operations
