What I'm looking for

I am seeking an HR role where I can lead recruitment and compliance in a development-oriented, professional organization with opportunities for growth, skills development, and collaborative, inclusive culture.

I am a human resources professional with experience across development and humanitarian contexts, specializing in full-cycle recruitment, performance management, and HR administration.

In my current role I led end-to-end recruitment efforts, reducing time-to-hire by 30% and cutting recruitment costs by 25% by streamlining workflows, enhancing pre-screening, and training hiring managers. I developed and implemented a Recruitment & Selection Policy, promoted inclusive hiring practices, and coordinated internship recruitment programs.

I ensure payroll accuracy, HRIS and filing integrity, and statutory compliance, including work permit coordination and labor law training. I train managers on structured interviews and unconscious bias, support contract performance management, and seek roles where I can further improve hiring quality and operational efficiency.
