I assess candidates against role requirements and selection criteria, then support them through screening and client submission. At Fantasia Villas, I managed full-cycle recruitment across hospitality, operations, creative, digital marketing and technology functions. I screened and interviewed candidates across international markets, and used structured evaluations and AI tools to support sourcing and recruitment workflows. At Algirom SRL, I coordinated a remote operations team and recruited, onboarded and trained team members. I also standardized procedures for reservations, customer support and daily operations. Earlier, at Fantasia Villas, I managed website content, booking information and operational data, while supporting reservations and VIP clients. My work also included email marketing, website updates and reporting. ``` ## Experience ### Talent Acquisition Specialist Freelancer (current) WLG.
