Sam Okafor

Talent Acquisition Lead

10+ years experience

Sam Okafor has spent a decade in recruiting and talent acquisition, running full-cycle hiring for early-stage startups and later leading a regional recruiting team inside a larger company. Sam has built hiring processes from a single shared spreadsheet up through full applicant tracking system rollouts, and has strong, hard-won opinions about which parts of that journey are worth the switch and which aren't. Sam also spends a lot of time on the underrated half of hiring — onboarding — after watching too many good hires quietly disengage in their first 90 days because no one had a real plan for them. At Workfloor, Sam covers hiring process, recruiting tools, and onboarding.
