About Katherine Tear

Jane of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one” I love being a Talent Acquisition Operations Manager, PMP who leads teams to get results. Recognized as a “rock-star” by colleagues, I design strategies and programs to source, attract, and hire high-performance team members but beyond that I build recruitment organizations and processes that companies need to remain agile in a fast-changing marketplace. With a diversity of industries I benefit from different perspectives to unique and similar scenarios. The JOY of TA Ops is being able to touch all aspects of the recruiting process – people, systems, groups – with powerful impacts. I get to create an ecosystem that allows recruiters to recruit and hiring managers to focus on the business of the business rather than a gap in their workforce. Here\'s a quick run-down of where I add value: • Talent Enablement – champion company values, enhance engagement • Employer Branding (EB) – promote organization as an employer of choice • TA/HR Compliance and Risk Management – local, state, federal, global, internal • Integrated Processes – systems, verticals, downstream influences, married data • Relationship Building – vendors, internal departments, HM, candidates, partners, community, clients • Candidate Experience (CX) – simplify recruitment, communication, transparency, engagement • Learning & Development (L&D) – interviewer excellence, unconscious bias, process, changes • Change Management (CM) – adapt and thrive in evolving environments • Workforce Development & Planning (WFD/WFP) – hiring the right people at the right time with the right skills to propel the business, partnering to reduce workforce gaps • Technology Enablement – efficiency optimization, integrated, scalable for adaptability • Training, Coaching, Mentoring – upskill to raise the tide level, preparing for succession • Project and Program Management (PM) – ensure people get what they need, when they need it within budget • Data Analytics – measuring to manage, track improvements and trends, strategize • DEI & B – create opportunities to leverage diversity of thought and retention for organizational betterment • Perspective – recognizing the impacts, inputs, and influence of others point of view • Implementation – launching systems, processes, policies, and technologies for greater efficiency • Leadership - empathy and active listening to leverage diverse viewpoints, promoting innovation, creativity, and a sense of belonging • Agnostic Approach - allows flexibility and adaptability to changes
