Shuster, MBA, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, also spearheads iHire's HR Services & Consulting practice, where she applies her 20 years of experience guiding companies on “people-first” workplace best practices.

Shuster was vetted and selected by a review committee based on the depth and diversity of her experience. Criteria for acceptance include a track record of successfully impacting business growth metrics, as well as personal and professional achievements and honors.

“With today’s talent shortage, tight labor market, economic uncertainty, and ongoing concerns around the pandemic, HR professionals are navigating an unfamiliar landscape,” Shuster said. “Now more than ever, the industry needs to come together to share ideas and solutions for creating workplaces that embrace empathy, engagement, and values-driven cultures. As a member of the Forbes Human Resources Council, I’m looking forward to furthering these critical conversations while bringing awareness to iHire’s brand.”

As an accepted member of the Council, Shuster has access to a variety of exclusive opportunities designed to help her reach peak professional influence.
