Joanne Parnofiello is a consummate HR professional. In my over a decade of working with her as the AVP of Employment at HSS, I found her understanding of the needs and requirements of the organization and how to achieve them to be highly strategic and operational. Joanne connects well with people at all levels in an organization and her dedication to the job and work ethic is unmatched. She has unquestionable integrity and is highly confidential.
I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Joanne Parnofiello during my employment at Hospital for Special Surgery. Joanne was not only my boss, but someone I consider to be my mentor. Despite the many competing priorities that she was consistently juggling, she always gave each matter and individual she was working with undivided time and attention to deliver effective and often creative solutions. She led her team and clients with her extensive knowledge and expertise in Human Resources, along with a genuine heart and intent to help others along the way. Joanne has taught me many invaluable lessons that have helped me develop my own personal career, such as troubleshooting complex conflicts and the value of building relationships. As I come across daily challenges and scenarios, I often find myself reflecting on “what would Joanne do”, as she always strived to do the right thing.
I have worked with Joanne for more than 25 years, and can personally attest that Joanne is one of the brightest, most competent, hard-working, compassionate, and talented individuals I have ever met and had the pleasure of working with. I personally benefited from her thoughtful, astute, insightful career guidance and am now working at a Director level.
I cannot say enough about her knowledge, judgement and skill in providing career guidance all while making the process fun and sharing some laughter through it all! She is a cherished and trusted confidant who I am sure will exceed your expectations!
Without hesitation, I would recommend you for any professional position. Earlier in the year, I was in need of a job. You offered to help me write introduction letters and update my resume. Upon using the tools you provided me, I was able to secure three interviews and land a wonderful job within my industry. My family and I can not thank you enough for all your support.

Her caring nature, coupled with her acceptance of all personalities, make her an involved and active team member. I highly recommend Joanne as a professional, well respected Woman of integrity.
Joanne’s ability to blend professionalism and compassion are unparalleled. When I was being interviewed by her for an entry level management position at a major academic medical center, she ended the interview by getting up and walking me to the next person’s office, which was across the street. I have never been treated with such respect and made to feel so special in an interview process and it was one of the main reasons that I took the position. In the years the followed, I continued to be promoted, ultimately obtaining a senior management position where Joanne was responsible for the recruitment of hundreds of individuals in my departments. While she only allow the highest caliber of candidate to be sent through, with laser precision, I watched her treat every candidate the same way she treated me. Joanne is a wonderful person and an asset to any person seeking HR related services.

She also strengthened my interview skills and made me feel more confident. Joanne’s vast knowledge and years of experience helped me obtain the career I always hoped for.

My relationship with Joanne Parnofiello began in 1996 on a professional level.
As the Human Resource Director she was responsible for hiring me as the Executive Director of Holy Name Hospital Home Care & Hospice. At that time Joanne conducted an in depth interview and took the time to enlighten me about the philosophy of the hospital and goals for these departments.

Upon hiring, Joanne arranged my structured orientation and followed up on a regular basis with my progress as a new administrator in this organization.
