As a Senior Talent Acquisition professional, I’ve had the opportunity to refine recruitment processes and develop effective hiring strategies. With a strong background in managing high-volume hiring, I strive to leverage ATS solutions for smoother operations. I take pride in working collaboratively with hiring managers to ensure our talent acquisition efforts align with business goals, helping to attract great candidates while enhancing their experience. Personal Mission Statement: My faith, personal experiences, and relationship with Jesus Christ inspire me to help others overcome career challenges and recognize their potential—to Be, Know, and Do (BeKnoDo) all that they are capable of achieving.

I’ve founded and run three education companies; each has passed the $100M revenue mark (the first two became significant public companies) through a combination of incredible people, transformative services, compelling cultures, strong returns for investors, and great outcomes for students. Noodle brings together what I’ve learned so far; it increases access to life-changing learning by making our university partners more resilient, responsive, efficient, and interconnected. I have also sat on the Boards for several for- and non-profits, including Carnegie Learning, Renaissance Learning, the National Association of Independent Schools, the Institute for Citizens and Scholars, the National Alliance of Public Charter Schools, the USC Rossier School and UPenn GSE. I’ve helped launch several other education technology companies, invested in many others, and authored or co-authored five books and many articles.

Listen...the stories we tell ourselves about "having to settle" are literally killing us — and costing the global economy $8.8 trillion in disengagement. When only 31% of employees feel engaged at work, it's not a motivation problem. It's a disconnection problem. People are feeling lost and disconnected from the work that actually lights them up. I'm Shaté Hayes, a producer specializing in storytelling-based programming that helps organizations develop and inspire their communities — and helps professionals find the courage to bet on themselves. With a background spanning professional dance, psychology, and workforce development leadership (including scaling career programs for 300,000+ learners), I know that you can't separate people from performance. Because the most powerful transformations happen when we stop running from ourselves and start building careers that honor who we really are. For Organizations: I partner with mid-sized organizations in arts, education, and professional development to create programming that addresses the engagement crisis: ✨ Storytelling-Based Programming — Workshop series and experiences that help your community find purpose-driven paths and reconnect with meaningful work ✨ Content Production — Articles, case studies, and video content that turn your impact into compelling narratives ✨ Strategic Consulting — Frameworks that transform your programs into stories that move stakeholders and create opportunities Beyond Client Work... I believe everyone deserves to have a sense of pride and purpose in their work. That's why I founded The Purpose Post — producing content and experiences for professionals building careers on their own terms. Through weekly stories, my documentary Return, and our community event RIZE, I create spaces where people see what becomes possible when they finally choose themselves. Ready to create programming that helps your community reconnect with purpose? - Organizations, book a call to discuss your vision in real time: https://bit.ly/tpp-connect - Professionals, subscribe to our weekly stories: www.thepurposepost.com P.S.
