What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values collaboration, and allows me to leverage my HR skills to drive organizational success.

I am a proactive and dedicated individual who completed a Master’s in Human Resource Management at UCD Smurfit Graduate Business School. My passion for people development and business growth drives my commitment to fostering positive workplace environments. With strong interpersonal skills, I excel in relationship-building and effective problem-solving, which are essential in dynamic HR settings.

In my recent role as a Recruitment Coordinator at Essar Healthcare, I managed the entire recruitment cycle for Nurses and HCAs, utilizing Zoho CRM and IrishJobs to streamline the hiring process. My experience as a Human Resources Recruitment Officer at Arcadia allowed me to oversee job postings and manage candidate assessments, successfully hiring 10-15 candidates for various roles while providing onboarding support. I also have a background in product marketing, where I ran recruitment-specific LinkedIn campaigns to enhance brand visibility and attract quality candidates.
