Use the metrics HR already reports
Time-to-fill, turnover, hires per year, headcount supported — you report these to leadership; put the same numbers on your own resume.
Certifications are filter keywords
SHRM-CP/SCP and PHR are literal ATS filters. List them with years in a credentials line, not buried in prose.
