Hi everyone! Happy to join the community and connect with you all. 

I’m Brooks Thurston. I lead the Global Talent Acquisition Operations Team at Northern Trust (Financial Services industry), which includes our Recruitment Marketing and Branding. I’ve been here just under 4 years. For 10 years prior to that I was in Recruiting and Operations in the Manufacturing industry. I’ve been in the Recruiting world for the majority of my career. We’ll just call it 20+ years, so I don’t REALLY age myself. 

I’m located in Mooresville, NC (suburb of Charlotte) and I work 100% remote - my “office” is in Chicago

We currently have a Corporate Recruiter package, Job Wrapping, Job Slots and Multinational, Premium Careers Page. We are getting ready to enable the LinkedIn-CRM Connect, as well. I’ve personally been using LinkedIn since early on, but mainly once I started in Corporate Recruiting, so 15 years or so.

I love to learn, share and collaborate with others. I will try to interact as much as possible on here and am always willing to connect and help out in any way that I can. I can talk about Recruiting/TA Ops all day long!!!  

Hi, I’m Nada!

For the past 15 years, I’ve been immersed in the wonderful world of HR , helping businesses build strong teams and connect people with opportunities that truly align with their skills, aspirations, and values. I founded my own HR consultancy, HR CHAMP , specializing in helping SMEs develop and implement effective talent strategies that drive business success.

With a background in psychology 🧠 and HR , I’ve always been drawn to talent acquisition—its ability to shape careers, transform businesses, and create meaningful impact. My experience spans multiple industries, particularly tech, giving me a well-rounded perspective on HR, recruitment, and the evolving workplace landscape.

What keeps me motivated? A passion for continuous learning and adapting to industry shifts. I actively explore emerging trends in talent acquisition, AI-driven recruitment, and the human side of hiring—because while data and technology enhance efficiency, the human connection remains at the heart of great hiring.

Excited to be part of this space, exchange insights, and connect with fellow professionals!

Let’s connect and grow together.

Hello everyone!

I’m Maria, TA Manager @ Bell Food Group, based in Basel Switzerland. I’d love to connect with TA Managers engaged within similar (manufacturing) companies that I could share my experience/knowledge with around talent acquisition & recruting strategies. Feel free to send me a message if you would like to connect and discuss further! 

Looking forward to hearing back from you!

I’m Ryan, I’ve worked as a program manager in IT for the last 3 years. Prior to that, I held roles as a Program Manager, Operations Team Leader, and Avionic Technician both at my current company and going back to my time in the US Navy. I work in the manufacturing industry. 

I’m based in New Hampshire which I love for the 4 seasons and small town feel but also because it’s close enough to Boston where I can easily catch a game from one of my teams - Patriots, Bruins, Red Sox, and the Phoenix Suns (if they are playing the Celtics).

I’m leading the project that is launching LinkedIn Learning Hub at my company next week. I signed up for LinkedIn Learning about 6 days before I was asked to lead the project which means I’ve been using it for just over 2 months and using it as a full admin for just under 2 months.

I came on today to find an answer to a question about automatically populating our SuccessFactors LMS with the LIL library content, but I hope to leverage the resources and experiences of others in the Talent Community to learn more about LinkedIn Learning and improve the experience of our employees. I’m a lifelong learner and passionate about enabling this benefit for everyone and seeing the benefit it will have for the company.
