@jazminadurakova
Energetic recruitment consultant with 12 years of diverse experience.
What I'm looking for
I am an energetic and result-driven professional with over 12 years of experience across various people-focused roles. Having relocated to the UK as a teenager, I’ve successfully built a career in hospitality and, more recently, in technology recruitment over the past 3+ years, all while operating in my third language. My diverse background, having lived in four different countries, allows me to bring unique perspectives and contribute significantly to building successful, cross-functional teams.
Currently, I manage client accounts in the UK, working directly with hiring managers to scale tech teams, including sourcing for niche roles and unique tech stacks in remote locations. I have a proven track record of securing new business logos in the DACH region and contributing to recruitment delivery across EMEA. My experience spans various industries, including FinTech, EdTech, E-commerce, Marketing, Advertising, Retail, and Automotive, where I have successfully recruited for roles such as IT Business Analysts, Software Engineers, and Technical Architects.
Looking ahead, I am eager to transition into an in-house talent acquisition role, where I can leverage my skills in building long-term hiring strategies and fill the gap in the talent world. I am passionate about creating effective hiring strategies that align with business goals and foster a positive workplace culture.
