@felixoyoo
Talent acquisition and people operations specialist using people analytics to hire faster.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Talent Acquisition professional with 5+ years of end-to-end recruitment experience across Africa and Canada. I’ve managed 25+ concurrent requisitions, screened 1,000+ candidates, and reduced time-to-hire by 20% through data-driven process improvements. I combine practical recruiting execution with people analytics and executive-ready reporting to help leaders make faster, better decisions.
In my current Talent Acquisition & People Operations Associate role at the Mastercard Foundation, I run end-to-end hiring across job levels, supporting time-to-hire targets of 35–45 days for mid-level and 50–60 days for senior/hard-to-fill roles. I build weekly recruitment dashboards, role-mapping frameworks, and executive-ready slide decks to track pipeline health and prioritize critical roles. I also strengthen selection quality by supporting Korn Ferry assessments and delivering structured candidate summaries for leadership decisions.
Previously, as a Talent Acquisition & Employer Partnerships Associate at African Leadership University (ALU), I led campus recruitment for internships and early-career opportunities—sourcing, screening, and placement across employer partner pipelines. I nurtured relationships with 50+ employer partners, contributing to a 23% increase in internship and graduate opportunities within 12 months. I designed a Salesforce Internship Report Dashboard with interactive visualisations to track hiring metrics and placement outcomes.
Earlier, as an HR Officer — People Operations & Recruitment at Aga Khan Academy, I coordinated end-to-end recruitment across teaching and operational roles and reduced time-to-hire by ~20% using structured recruitment channels, standardised screening criteria, and streamlined ATS workflows. I built and deployed a People Insight Dashboard and a Leave Management Dashboard on Power BI to enable real-time, data-driven HR decisions. I’m at my best where recruiting, process improvement, and analytics work together to build scalable hiring frameworks.
