What I'm looking for

Seeking a strategic role in talent acquisition where I can leverage my expertise in recruitment planning, talent sourcing, and process optimization to contribute to organizational growth and innovation.

As a seasoned Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, I bring over 8 years of experience in developing and executing strategic recruitment plans to attract top talent in various industries. My expertise includes full-cycle recruiting, talent sourcing, and implementing applicant tracking systems (ATS) to optimize hiring processes. I have a proven track record of collaborating with hiring managers to align recruitment strategies with business objectives and improving recruitment KPIs.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in headhunting, talent pipeline development, and continuous improvement projects. I am proficient in using various recruitment tools such as LinkedIn, Indeed, and ATS to identify and engage top candidates. My experience also includes training management and teams on best practices for conducting efficient interviews and onboarding new employees.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from UQAM, along with certificates in Human Resources, Administration, and International Trade. My academic background, combined with my professional experience, has equipped me with a strong understanding of business operations and international trade, enabling me to effectively source and recruit talent that aligns with organizational goals.
