Talent Acquisition Lead with 10+ years driving end-to-end hiring and recruiting analytics.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Talent Acquisition professional with 10+ years across technology, gaming, startups, and enterprise. I focus on end-to-end hiring for Engineering, Product, Data, Marketing, and leadership roles—across on-site, remote, and relocation models.
As a Talent Acquisition Lead at Developer Express, I owned hiring strategy and execution across five core locations (Cyprus, Spain, Hungary, Armenia, and the Philippines) and selected EU remote roles. I delivered 70+ hires per year, introduced recruiting KPIs and dashboards, and partnered on workforce planning—reducing time-to-fill by up to 50% for selected roles.
Earlier, as the Talent Acquisition & People Partner at June Homes, I joined as the company’s first People & Talent hire and built the recruitment process from scratch after a funding round. I owned remote hiring for Engineering, Product, Data, and selected Marketing roles, supported senior leadership searches, and helped scale the organization from just over 10 to more than 70 employees with almost all hires coming through direct sourcing.
I’ve also worked as an independent recruiter and in-house roles including Technical Recruiter at Glu Mobile and Deutsche Bank, building deep expertise in direct sourcing, stakeholder alignment, interview process design, and offer management. I’m currently fully available for a full-time Talent Acquisition role.
