Preston Sharpston 🌿's Linkedin Analytics

If you’re hiring at scale in restaurants, retail, or healthcare, you don’t just need staffing help – you need a hiring engine. That’s where I work best: designing and leading recruiting operations and enablement – the systems, tools, and workflows that make high-volume hiring streamlined, scalable, and cost-effective. Whether your goal is 50 hires or 50,000, I build the infrastructure to make it happen without burning out your team or your budget. I’ve spent my career leading talent acquisition and recruiting operations for fast-growth brands – from building TA functions from the ground up to leading teams and overhauling processes in multi-billion-dollar enterprises. My work has included: 👉 Led talent acquisition for high-growth brands scaling up to 27K+ hires annually, driving strategy, team performance, and infrastructure to meet ambitious growth goals 👉 Built 5 end-to-end recruiting functions that sustained rapid multi-state and global expansion while saving millions in hiring costs and improving quality-of-hire 👉 Directed multi-state and international TA teams, optimizing processes, capacity, and vendor partnerships to deliver multi-million-dollar savings in under 18 months 👉 Equipped 2,000+ hiring managers with tools, training, and data insights that increased hiring capabilities, improved selection quality, and reduced turnover by up to 80% Along the way, I’ve been invited to share insights at DisruptHR, RecFest, and other industry events, and my work has been featured by Forbes Advisor, Restaurant Dive, HRCI and others. I also write Recruiting Stack, a monthly newsletter with practical RecOps strategies for TA teams and hiring leaders. If you’re looking for someone to lead and scale a recruiting operations function (or elevate your TA team to its next level – that’s exactly what I do. Thanks for stopping by! 🌿
