Mar 2024 - Jun 2025

  • The team analyzed stage aging and removed two redundant interview steps; my scope was data preparation, quality checks, and follow-up documentation under senior review. The team kept turnaround time within the agreed operating window; documented my assigned work separately from the team result and confirmed it with a senior colleague.
  • Within the assigned scope, prepared a structured facilitation guide, tested the instructions with a small internal group, and revised ambiguous prompts before using the material in a hiring or employee-development session.
  • Within the assigned scope, reviewed an employee-facing process with HR and the responsible manager, separated mandatory policy steps from local team habits, and rewrote the guidance around actual questions received during onboarding.
