@andreibalan
Recruitment and account-focused leader driving high-volume hiring, client satisfaction, and KPI achievement.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic, results-driven Recruitment and Account Manager with over 8 years of experience in recruitment, logistics, and client management. I lead end-to-end recruitment—job postings, candidate sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding—while maintaining compliance through right-to-work verifications and accurate candidate records.
I have managed large-scale recruitment operations and overseen teams across retail, logistics, industrial, and office settings, improving workforce productivity and meeting targets. From onsite account management (including payroll, hours entry, and reporting) to contract delivery with KPI ownership, I bring strong leadership, negotiation, and conflict-resolution skills to drive business success.
