About Stephanie Portwood

I love what I do! My goal within HR and Talent Acquisition is to connect top talent with great opportunities. I pride myself on excellent follow-up skills and creating the best match possible for my candidates and hiring managers, while providing complete transparency to set them up for successful career transitions. I truly value building lasting relationships with my candidates and seeing their professional goals come to fruition. I consider myself a recruiting business partner to my hiring managers; to work as a team and create exceptional client value.Aside from recruiting, I also have experience in a number of initiatives within talent acquisition, including social media engagement, improving candidate experience, diversity & inclusion, GSM/agency relationship management, SOP creation, facilitation of inclusive hiring training, onboarding, training/mentorship of newly hired recruiters, global mobility, intern mentorship, LinkedIn training for new hires, visual job aid creation, new hire candidate surveys and follow-up, and strategy team involvement to build company branding and engage potential new teammates. I have experience as the Regional Client Partner for our Aon Growth Ventures group; where I supported our Innovations business unit from a partnership perspective; collaborating with leadership and HR on strategy around recruiting efforts and talent advisory. I also volunteer at a number of non-profit organizations and am a Veteran Mentor, Career Coach for the Posse Foundation, Aon Wellbeing Ambassador, and a certified Mental Health First Aider.I currently focus on hiring for Aon\'s Accounting, Finance, Tax, Audit, Corporate Development (Mergers & Acquisitions), Marketing & Communications, Strategic Initiatives, Transformation/Value Enablement, SOX, Technical Accounting, Financial Governance & Reporting, Corporate Strategy, Investor Relations, Insurance Market Security, Graphic Design & Proposal/Bid Management, Category Management/Procurement (Global Spend Management - GSM), Meeting & Events, and Treasury functions.
