Jocelyn Herman, MSIO

Jocelyn Herman is a Talent Acquisition Manager at Geotemps, Inc., where she specializes in connecting highly skilled professionals with opportunities across the mining, geology, engineering, and heavy industry sectors. Based in the Lafayette, Louisiana metropolitan area, she is recognized as a top-producing recruiter for Alaska, Nevada, and Arizona. She combines strategic talent acquisition with a strong understanding of organizational psychology. With a Master of Science in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Jocelyn brings a data-driven yet highly personal approach to recruitment, focusing on understanding human motivation, organizational culture, and long-term alignment between candidates and employers.

Throughout her career, Jocelyn has built expertise in full-cycle recruitment, technical sourcing, workforce development, and organizational training. At Geotemps, Inc., she has managed complex and highly specialized technical searches, developed talent pipelines in competitive markets, advised clients on talent trends and compensation, and contributed to training programs designed to strengthen recruitment capabilities. Earlier in her career, she worked in organizational development and training at Quaker State and served in talent management and recruitment for Mexico's Federal Police Intelligence Division, where she supported specialized hiring, competency-based selection, leadership development, and organizational development across multiple directorates. Her diverse background has given her a distinctive ability to evaluate both technical qualifications and the human factors that influence workplace success. Beyond recruiting, Jocelyn is passionate about professional development, empowerment, and healthier workplace environments. Her experiences have shaped a strong commitment to helping people overcome imposter syndrome, recognize their capabilities, and pursue opportunities even when they may not initially feel fully qualified. For Jocelyn, Talent Acquisition is not simply about filling positions.

It is about connecting people with possibilities. She believes the strongest relationships in business are built on honesty, kindness, trust, and genuine human connection. Whether she is partnering with a client to identify the right candidate or encouraging a professional to pursue an opportunity they believe is beyond their reach, Jocelyn approaches every interaction with the belief that people deserve to be seen for their potential.

One message she consistently shares with candidates is simple:

Apply. Take the interview. Give yourself a chance.

Even when impostor syndrome says, “You won’t make it.”

You might.

Jocelyn seeks to create environments where people can grow, contribute meaningfully, and succeed while maintaining the human connection that she believes is essential to effective talent management. Her leadership philosophy is rooted in collaboration, empathy, accountability, and the belief that success becomes more meaningful when we help others achieve it too. “I want to be the leader who helps others shine.” Because there is room in this world for everyone to shine.

Different backgrounds.

Different perspectives.

Different paths.

There is room for all of us.

And Jocelyn believes we should never underestimate what we are capable of becoming.

We are made for more.
