About Maria Cunningham Hill

I am a HR Director with a proven track record of success. I stand apart from other directors in my ability to build relationships with other senior leaders. This includes positively influencing management teams and driving organizational goals. From a HR Business Partner perspective, I participate in strategic planning to help business units present, meet, and prepare for future goals. I seek to add value to the company by driving the recruiting process, assist with career development of new and current employees. Ultimately, my strength is relieving pressure from management to hone employee job skills for efficiency and productivity, as well as identifying, developing and grooming key employees for advancement. In addition, I am experienced in direct and indirect recruiting, cold calling, networking, sourcing for referrals, and career fairs to attract top talent.
