Julia Berning, MSHRM shared thisHello network! I'm excited to explore new opportunities and ready to make a significant impact together! After my long-standing software company was sold and the majority of employees let go, including all of HR, I'm now looking for a new challenge and a place to contribute my extensive leadership and human resources expertise. What I bring to the table: With over 15 years of experience as a Talent Leader, I have a proven track record of aligning people strategies with business objectives to deliver impactful results. I’ve led initiatives across talent management, employee engagement, and organizational development. My approach involves intricate problem-solving, robust relationship-building, and insightful data analysis. A highlight of my career was implementing a global-wide grassroots strategy that significantly enhanced employee engagement. This initiative empowered our employees, spurred open communication, and fostered creativity and innovation, leading to measurable improvements in motivation, retention, and productivity. Looking for: Director, Talent Management Director, Talent Acquisition Head of People Employee Experience/Change Management A fun fact about me: Beyond my professional life, I have a deep passion for decorating. I've orchestrated numerous high-profile charitable events and weddings, handling everything from design to budgeting, ensuring memorable experiences. My creative roots allow me to be an aspiring leader displaying vision, innovation, adaptability, relationship building, and collaboration. I'm eager to connect and bring my dynamic mix of creativity and strategic HR expertise to your organization! #OpenToWork #TalentManagement #HRjobs

Julia Berning, MSHRM shared thisLately, I have been asked with all of the layoffs, why am I not looking outside of HR. The answer is, I miss it. I miss it with all my heart, down to my core. I am finding myself utilizing my HR skills in everyday life. Yesterday, I guided my hairdresser on a benefits question. I assisted a friend in drafting a negotiating document. I am back to volunteering and taking advantage of my free time, helping write resumes and interview questions. I am even creating my own metrics around my job search! My point is, I have never been prouder of my HR background. I may not be getting paid, but this career has helped me tremendously in life skills. So today, I am shutting down my computer and leaving you all with my bio. Today, my Freshman is out of school and I am going to take advantage of this blessing of quality time.

Julia Berning, MSHRM shared thisWorking in HR, I always hope the individuals we hire have the best experience with those they work for. This weekend, I was blessed to have the opportunity to attend a previous boss's daughters wedding. Travis was a huge part of what shaped much of my early career into what it is today. It was an honor to work for him and after 13 years, still be able to call him and and his wife Kelly friends. Travis Fliehman

Julia Berning, MSHRM liked thisJulia Berning, MSHRM liked thisI’m honored to share that I’ve been named to The Most Inclusive HR Influencer List™ for 2025! This recognition means a lot to me — because at my core, I see myself as a builder. Not just of businesses, content, or communities, but also a connector of people, voices, and opportunities. That’s why I’m grateful for the work of Micole Garatti, MBA, and this year’s sponsors for creating this award. The Most Inclusive HR Influencer List™ is crowd-sourced and nominations-based, ensuring that diverse voices of influence in the HR community are seen, celebrated, and elevated. To be included alongside so many changemakers who are advancing inclusion and belonging in our profession is both humbling and inspiring. I’ll continue to do my part to build, to share, and to make room for others. Because that’s how we shape the future of work — together. I invite you to check out the full list 👉 https://lnkd.in/ghRmfwE8 I’m sure, like me, you’ll discover some new and impactful voices to add to your network.

Julia Berning, MSHRM reacted on thisJulia Berning, MSHRM reacted on thisLast week, I was everywhere doing my typical Laurie stuff—teaching, speaking, trying to be helpful. Did you see me? I tried to look nice. I hope you learned something. Then I got a message from SPCA of Wake County, where I’ve been a longtime supporter. There was a suspected puppy mill bust here in Raleigh, and nearly 101 small dogs were rescued. That little black dog in the tub? That’s Brady. The photo was taken mid-grooming of his first bath. Zoom in. Those clumps around him aren’t just fur—they’re mats. Layers of hair twisted into painful knots over the years. He probably hadn’t been groomed once in his life. The smell? Beyond words. Brady got the spa day he deserved. And he wasn’t the only one. Staff across the shelter dropped everything to help. People who usually work behind the scenes came forward to shave, scrub, hold, and soothe every dog. It was loud. Messy. Healing. These dogs weren’t just being cleaned. They were being restored. A friend told me, “It felt like a transition from past to future. They were literally and figuratively shedding trauma.” It reminded me that my jobby job is only part of life—even the good work, even the work I love. When you don't see me on stage or on LinkedIn, I am passionate about raising money and supporting animals like Brady. Your job can be your identity, which is fine. But if you let it, it can fuel your passion and improve the real world (outside of work). That's the better way to live. If you want to help, here’s where to give: https://lnkd.in/ecqHK6XV #SPCAWake #BehindTheScenes #LIPostingDayJune

Julia Berning, MSHRM liked thisJulia Berning, MSHRM liked thisLast year at the SHRM Annual Conference in Chicago, something special happened... My best friend Laurie Ruettimann threw me a 60th birthday party at the House of Blues. 🎉 But it wasn’t really about me. It was a BFF Party - and a celebration of 10 years of DisruptHR. More than that, it was about *us* — HR leaders, practitioners, and work-adjacent friends who needed a reason to come together, dance, laugh, and celebrate everything we’ve built (and survived) since the pandemic. People flew in from around the world just to see and hug each other IRL. The party was open to everyone, sold out in under two weeks, and we totally packed the House of Blues. And the vibe? Unmatched. 😘 A couple of weeks ago, we started thinking… should we do it again? 📍 SHRM25 is in San Diego — and it's a fun/walkable city. 🏢 We checked. The venue is available. 👥 There’ll be 20,000+ HR pros in town June 29–July 1. 💰 But we’ll need a few awesome sponsors to make it happen. So here’s the question — should we run it back? Do you want to come to a BFF Party at SHRM25? Hit the dance floor? Finally meet that LinkedIn connection in real life? If we’re going to do this, we need a few great partners to help bring this joyful, unofficial, unfiltered, and unforgettable experience to life again. If your company serves: • Mid-market HR tech • Payroll or benefits • L&D or implementation consulting • Staffing or talent placement • Fractional HR or people ops • Recognition or culture solutions… Let’s talk. This is a chance to connect with and support a high-energy gathering of HR professionals who are shaping the future of work — and love a good dance floor. We’ll bring the good vibes and the disruptive energy. You bring the support. Together, we’ll make some magic in the Gaslamp district. 👇 Drop a comment or message me if you want in.

Julia Berning, MSHRM liked thisJulia Berning, MSHRM liked thisOn this day of Memorium I thought I would share two things that brought me reflection and gratefulness for all those who have given something and all those who gave all to protect our freedoms in the US. The first item is in the cafeteria at The Gorilla Glue Company. It is a fully dressed table with a letter describing what each item means. I read it before I left on Thursday. Very sobering and reflective. The second is a video of my daughter and two others from Forest Hills School District Bands who played Taps at the Memorial Day event in Newtown, Ohio this morning after marching in the Newtown parade and playing the Star Spangled Banner. In awe of the sound the triad created. In Memory of all those who gave all for our Freedom. The Taps video I will post in the reply.

Hard to believe that a little over 1 year ago I retired from a job and then started here at Miami University Farmer School of Business. What a difference a year makes. Dear Professor Mobley, Congratulations! You have been nominated for the 2024-2025 Outstanding Professor Award!

Julia Berning, MSHRM reacted on thisJulia Berning, MSHRM reacted on thisThe most rewarding part of my job is amplifying the insights and hard work of others. That’s why I was thrilled to help kick off Transform and dive into what’s happening now—and what’s next—in the world of work. But the real magic? Watching the audience connect with the wisdom on stage from John Ferguson, SHRM-CP, PHR , Brian Elliott and Pat Wadors. As I looked out at the crowd, I couldn’t help but think: Maybe someone here is going to fix work for good. Maybe it’s you.

📊 The Cost of Talent is Shifting: Key Benchmarks from the 2025 Recruiting Report The new SHRM 2025 Recruiting Executives Benchmarking Report reveals a major divergence in hiring metrics, with costs soaring for executive roles while time-to-fill stabilizes. Here are the must-know insights for every talent acquisition professional: 1. Executive Hiring Costs Explode, Nonexecutive Costs Drop The cost-per-hire (CPH) gap is wider than ever, underscoring the resource intensity of top-tier talent acquisition: Executive CPH has reached a median of $10,625. This represents a staggering 113% increase since 2017 and a 21% rise since 2022. Nonexecutive CPH decreased to $1,200, a 27% decline since 2017. The Ratio: The cost of hiring an executive is now nearly 9 times that of a nonexecutive role. 2. Time-to-Fill Stabilizes, But Size Matters The hiring process is becoming more consistent across job levels, suggesting focused effort on speed: The median time-to-fill for both executive and nonexecutive positions is now about 44-45 days (a month and a half). This is a sharp drop for executive roles, which took 60 days in 2022. The Bottleneck: Extra-large organizations (5,000+ employees) report significantly longer time-to-fill periods (around 60-61 days for both). 3. The Internal Hiring Opportunity is Missed Recruitment remains overwhelmingly external, though larger firms are better at internal mobility: The overall median shows executive hiring is 100% external. Only 7% of nonexecutive positions are filled internally across all organizations. The Exception: Extra-large organizations are the exception, filling 50% of executive positions from within. 4. A "Quality of Hire" Blind Spot Despite 61% of recruiting executives citing a lack of qualified candidates as a top challenge, very few organizations actually measure whether their new hires deliver value: Only 20% of organizations use a quality-of-hire metric, a decline from previous years. 💡 Actionable Takeaway: Recruitment is expensive, especially at the executive level. Recruiting leaders need to justify these costs by integrating Quality of Hire metrics into their reporting and investing in internal development programs (upskilling, mentoring) to capitalize on the lower cost and higher potential retention of internal talent. How does your organization's CPH compare to these benchmarks? Share your thoughts below! 👇 #Recruiting #TalentAcquisition #HRMetrics #Benchmarking #FutureOfWork #SHRM #ExecutiveSearch

Back to work after the holidays? This is the checklist HR leaders should start with. Before the inbox floods. Before hiring plans get locked. Before Q1 momentum quietly slips away. Budgets need alignment. Critical roles need clarity. AI needs guardrails. Managers need enablement. Attrition needs honest answers. This isn’t about being busy. It’s about making the right calls early. If you’re leading HR this year, start here, align fast, and let the rest follow. Save it. Share it with your team. Day one decisions shape the whole year.

“Talent acquisition doesn’t belong under HR. It belongs with sales and marketing.” What makes Elaine Orler say that??? TA isn’t just about process and compliance. It’s about attracting, engaging, and closing top talent just like a sales funnel. 🎯 Future-focused orgs are already treating their recruiters like growth engines, not paper-pushers. 💬 “The more we adopt a strategic, sales-driven mindset… the more successful our hiring outcomes become.” 🎧 Watch the full clip on YouTube

This shift is seeing TA teams evolve from recruiters to talent strategists, where skills become the new currency of mobility, and internal candidates receive the same red-carpet treatment as external ones. Internal mobility isn't just a retention tactic. It's a full-blown talent strategy that turns your existing workforce into your competitive advantage. Ready to re-recruit your top talent?
