Jacqueline Abeel

I’m a Talent Acquisition professional with deep expertise in full-cycle recruiting, strategic sourcing, and talent pipeline development — with experience leading teams as well as driving results as an individual contributor. At Kraft Heinz, I’ve managed 25-30 requisitions at a time across functions while also leading a team of recruiters. I streamlined the hiring process, cutting time-to-hire by 45 days, and developed interview training adopted by 80% of managers, which improved both candidate experience and first-year retention. My career spans agency, government contracting, and Fortune 500 environments, where I’ve hired for hundreds of roles annually across IT, HR, Finance, Marketing, Legal, and beyond. I thrive at balancing hands-on recruiting with strategic guidance — from sourcing niche technical talent to partnering with leaders on long-term workforce planning. What drives me most is building connections: between candidates and opportunities, and between hiring teams and the talent that powers their growth. Whether I’m operating as a recruiter, leader, or process optimizer, I bring persistence, adaptability, and a focus on outcomes to every search.
