HR Compliance Specialist | Talent Acquisition, OD & HRIS (Odoo/UKG)

Strategic HR Consultant | Compliance, Talent Acquisition & People Operations (4+ Years, Global Clients) I'm Muhammad Kaleemullah, a Strategic HR professional with 4+ years of experience helping organizations, corporate, education, and consulting sectors across Pakistan, the US, and international clients, solve real HR problems and build teams that actually work. I currently support a US-based multi-state education network on federal, state, and local labor law compliance, and lead HR operations & organizational development for an engineering consultancy in Pakistan, so I bring both hands-on compliance depth and cross-border HR fluency to every engagement. Where I add the most value: HR Compliance & Policy Development; Multi-state US labor law compliance, employee handbooks, SOPs, and policy frameworks that are practical, legally sound, and audit-ready (including ISO 9001/14001/45001-aligned systems). Talent Acquisition & Recruitment; Full-cycle, structured hiring across technical and non-technical roles, sourcing strategy, and interview frameworks that reduce time-to-fill without sacrificing quality. Performance Management; Appraisal systems, KPI frameworks, and competency models that connect individual performance to business goals. Employee Relations & Investigations; Corrective action processes, grievance handling, and workplace investigations that keep things fair, documented, and legally defensible. Compensation & Benefits; Pay structures, recognition programs, and benefits administration that keep people motivated and retained. HR Systems & Data; Hands-on with Odoo, UKG Pro, and SysHCM; I also build Power Query (M) pipelines for HR data migration, reporting, and analytics, useful if your HR data is messy and needs to actually tell you something. My approach: HR isn't just process, it's people. I start by understanding what the business actually needs and who the people behind it are, then design HR solutions that serve both. That's shown up in results like cutting hiring time by 25%, reducing manual HR workload by 30% through ERP implementation, and building compliance frameworks now supporting operations across 8+ US states. I hold an MBA in HRM & Finance and a BBA in HRM. If you need someone to build your HR function from the ground up, fix a compliance gap, run a hiring push, or just bring order to a growing team, I'd be glad to help. Let's talk about what you're building.
