Our client is a high-growth B2B E-Commerce site for door hardware and security inventory. Headquartered in Chicago, the company has 350 employees and eight distribution centers across the U.S. The client initially reached out to TalentRise in 2020 to fill a senior level human resources position reporting to the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO). The CHRO had been charged with building out the company’s HR infrastructure, talent systems, and processes to support aggressive growth through acquisition.

Managing the Task
To meet their strategic objectives, the company needed to hire a senior human resources leader who would ultimately serve as a successor to the CHRO. The CHRO engaged TalentRise to conduct the search and find a hands-on leader who could offer strategic leadership, while also managing the company’s critical, day-to-day HR functions and staff through a period of high growth and continuous change.

- Pre-screened, interviewed, and assessed the hard and soft skills of interested candidates, then delivered feedback to the client regarding which individuals we recommended moving forward in the process
- Supported the interview-to-offer and hiring process to ensure the selection and hire of the very best candidate
- Provided “Fast Start” executive onboarding coaching for the first 90 days to set the newly hired leader up for success and accelerate their organizational culture and leadership team assimilation and time to full productivity
