At Sweetwater Plumbing, I built the in-house recruitment function from the ground up, creating a 183-candidate pipeline and delivering 7 hires across field, sales, and management roles. I also implemented Breezy HR and set up hiring workflows, partnerships, and onboarding processes.

Previously, at Vensure Employer Solutions / Hirefinder RPO, I recruited across global client accounts, averaging 20+ quality submissions per week with a 95% submittal-to-hire conversion rate. At Safaricom PLC, I supported a nationwide initiative by screening, assessing, and onboarding 300 customer service representatives.
