Senior recruiter and TA leader specializing in fast, diverse hiring across EMEA for sales, corporate, and technical roles.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Recruiter / TA Leader with 20+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across EMEA, with a strong track record in Sales, Corporate Functions, Technical, and Engineering hiring—from individual contributor roles through VP and executive-level searches.
I own complex, multi-stakeholder hiring processes from kick-off to offer across 40+ countries, building proactive talent pipelines and using structured interviewing to improve offer acceptance rates, quality-of-hire, and recruiting speed.
I partner directly with SVPs, VPs, and hiring managers to calibrate assessments, align timelines with headcount forecasts, and run KPI dashboards (time-to-fill, time-to-hire, pipeline health, offer acceptance). I also lead diversity and inclusion hiring practices, and I’ve guided a team of 10 recruiters on sourcing strategy, stakeholder management, and candidate engagement—while managing Germany works council / co-determination requirements with zero compliance incidents.
