Effective talent management involves planning for future leadership and other critical roles within the organization. Within ATD-Orange County, it also means identifying and matching our members to professional development opportunities available within our Chapter.

Our new VP of Talent Management, Taylor Dickey, loves helping people land their dream job, and is excited to collaborate with our members to connect them to invaluable roles within the Chapter that will help them grow and master their own skills. With years of experience as a recruiter through a wide variety of industries, Taylor brings with her the tools and experience(and the energy!) to help you make the most out of your involvement with ATD-OC. In this installment of Meet the Board, we invite you to meet Taylor Dickey and hear her perspectives on her role in our Chapter as Vice President of Talent Management.

Why did you join the ATD-Orange County Board?

I was introduced to ATD-OC by a dear friend named Susmitha Valvekar, who reached out to me about this exciting opportunity. The idea of being part of a board has always resonated with me, and ATD-OC appeared to be the perfect fit, with its shared values and promising beginnings.

What do you hope to get out of your role?

In this role, I hope to gain valuable experience and insights that will not only contribute to the success of this organization but also help me grow both professionally and personally. I'm eager to collaborate with talented individuals, learn from their expertise, and make meaningful contributions to our community.

What is your proudest accomplishment of the past year?

Upon joining a new organization I led a project to revamp our recruitment process, implementing new strategies and tools that resulted in a remarkable reduction in time to hire. This improvement not only enabled us to secure top talent more swiftly but also contributed to cost savings and increased productivity within the organization.
