What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in talent acquisition that fosters collaboration and innovation.

As a strategic and results-driven Senior Full-Cycle Recruiter with over 6 years of experience, I specialize in high-impact hiring for software engineering, AI, cloud technology, and Web3. My proven track record includes building recruiting operations from the ground up and developing scalable hiring processes that align with business goals. I am known for my expert negotiation skills and my ability to collaborate cross-functionally to drive top-tier talent acquisition for startups and high-growth tech companies.

In my current role as Head of Recruiting at Io.Net, I was the first internal recruiter hired, where I designed and implemented standardized yet flexible interview processes tailored to each role and department. I successfully hired key executives and senior talent while managing third-party recruiting vendors and contributing to HR initiatives. My previous experience as a Senior Lead Recruiter at Jivaro Professional Headhunters allowed me to excel in cold outreach and business development across various sectors, where I was recognized as a top producer for precision hiring and strategic sourcing.
