We’ve had the privilege of partnering with Enverus for the past five years—and watching their HR function evolve into a strategic driver of the business. A major force behind that evolution, especially in Talent Acquisition? Liesl Vargas, their VP of Talent Excellence. If you’re an HR executive constantly hearing: ❝ Recruiting is too slow. ❝ We can’t find good candidates. ❝ We’re not set up to scale… You’re not alone. When Liesl joined, Enverus had grown rapidly—from a few hundred to over 800 employees. But the TA infrastructure hadn’t kept up. There were process gaps, limited visibility into headcount, and shaky trust in the TA function. Her first 60 days? She listened. She diagnosed. She got real about what needed to change. Instead of applying surface fixes, Liesl rebuilt the function from the ground up: ✅ Introduced recruiting intake forms to bring clarity and prevent unapproved hires ✅ Aligned Talent with Finance and the C-suite to create budget accountability ✅ Set a 45-day time-to-fill benchmark—and consistently beat it ✅ Used time-to-fill as a signal to diagnose friction, not just track speed ✅ Shifted the culture: Hiring became a partnership with leaders, not a handoff The results? No surprise $30K overages. No 75 day time-to-fill. No rogue backfills. Just structure, accountability, and trust. Building infrastructure in a recruiting function while scaling is no small feat—but it’s critical for business growth. 📖 Read about Liesl's journey—and the lessons your team can borrow— in the comments.

Our CEO, Leyda Lazo, SHRM-SCP, will be speaking at the Florida Public Human Resources Association (FPHRA) again this year! She’s bringing an important message for HR professionals across Florida: We often focus on what managers aren’t doing… ➤ Not holding teams accountable ➤ Avoiding conflict ➤ Struggling to build trust ➤ Failing to lead effectively But the real question is: What are we doing—as HR leaders—to support them? Not just when problems surface, but proactively, consistently, and strategically. What if we had a framework? What if we could identify and reinforce the right behaviors—in both leaders and their teams? In this session, Leyda Lazo, SHRM-SCP will explore how Florida’s HR professionals can act as culture shapers, behavior spotters, and team catalysts. Because team dysfunction isn’t just a leadership issue—it’s a shared responsibility. If you’ll be attending, we’d love to connect. Let’s reimagine the role of HR—not as a support function, but as a strategic driver of team performance.
