I’m Roberta Coggins, the founder of RYC Strategic Talent Acquisition. I’ve spent more than fifteen years helping organizations hire smarter—leading high‑performing recruiting teams and building scalable hiring strategies across financial services, manufacturing, technology, hospitality and global enterprise environments. My résumé describes me as a “strategic and data-driven Talent Acquisition executive with 15+ years of experience leading high-performing recruiting teams across multiple industries,” and that’s exactly the lens I bring to every client partnership.
I’ve led everything from high‑volume hiring to executive searches, redesigned recruiting operations, and partnered directly with senior leadership to align talent pipelines with business growth plans.
My approach is people‑first and data‑driven. I care about creating an inclusive, transparent experience for candidates while helping companies build teams that are ready for what’s next. That passion is supported by a strong academic foundation: a Master of Science in Human Resources Management from Long Island University and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Medgar Evers College.
