Shane Noe: HR Tech Insights: Metrics That Matter

What this episode covers

Shane Noe is based in San Francisco and is Vice President of People Operations at ClickUp. He began his career in finance by working at companies like Apple, Google, and Box. He made the mid-career transition to HR out of a desire to bring world-class data and analytics to a function that is underserved at many companies. He has leveraged his quantitative expertise to build Recruiting Ops and People Operations functions at fast-growing tech companies, including Box, Okta, and most recently, Clickup, where he leads People Ops, HRIS, Facilities, People Analytics, and Total Rewards. Along the way, in 2011, he co-founded SnowGlobe Music Festival in South Lake Tahoe, which was acquired by MTV in 2018.  Shane is passionate about using data to optimize operations and drive results and is eager to share what he’s learned with the broader HR community. In this conversation at the HR Tech conference in Las Vegas, 2024, we discuss Shane's unique journey from co-founding a music festival to his current role in HR and data analytics. The conversation explores the importance of data in HR, the transition from finance to HR, and the key metrics organizations should focus on to improve their hiring processes and overall employee engagement.
