Antonio Dahdah Perez
@antoniodahdahperez
Talent Acquisition Partner at Unitalent Consultancy, delivering 1,000+ hires and helping startups and scale-ups build recruitment functions.
What I'm looking for
At Unitalent Consultancy OÜ, I deliver RPO, benchmarking, and talent-scaling engagements for startups and scale-ups as a fractional TA partner. Across my recruitment work, I’ve delivered 1,000+ hires in BPO, IT, Media, Fintech, and Gaming, and cut average time-to-hire from 60–90 days to 30–35 days.
At Eneba, I delivered 20 hires in Q1 and helped scale a new Customer Support function, while expanding the TA team by seven people in under two months. I’ve also supported mission-critical EU programs and, after recently relocating to Manila, I’m looking to grow my footprint in Southeast Asia as an independent consultant.
