About

I’ve been in the talent acquisition space for 12+ years, with a high focus on the business side - G&A and Sales. In the past 3 years, I’ve transitioned my career to focus on building top-performing recruitment teams at post-IPO tech companies and tech startups. Companies include Zappos, Target.com, LendingClub, Yelp, Scoop Technologies, and Gem. In the past year, I’ve also pivoted into 3rd party, working for a recruiting immersive hybrid firm called Binc. Previous career highlights: • Zappos - pioneered new recruiting efficiencies and programs such as the insider program, eliminating all external job posts • LendingClub - pioneered batch style recruiting for sales and operations roles • Yelp - managed a team of G&A recruiters in developing new hiring strategies across 1 of 3 main functions at Yelp • Scoop - Built an entire recruiting infrastructure from the ground up and built a team of 10 TA professionals LinkedIn: • Connect with me at bit.ly/Rockne808 Twitter: • twitter.com/Rockne808 (Rockne808) Facebook: • facebook.com/rockne.henriques Speaking: • SHRM Conference, Las Vegas, 2013 • BBWorld, Las Vegas, 2014 Blog: • https://pulse.target.com/author/rockne/ • http://bit.ly/1mqDmcF • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKe-p-sDu_Y • https://blog.takescoop.com/meet-the-team-rockne-henriques-business-recruiting-lead-d622711ed411
