What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a team where I can own technical hiring end-to-end, use AI-assisted automation to improve pipeline speed, and build scalable SOPs. I want strong stakeholder collaboration and measurable hiring outcomes.

I’m a data-driven Talent Acquisition Specialist and Lead–Technical Recruitment with 4 years of experience scaling high-performance engineering and AI teams. I bring a track record of delivering strong hiring outcomes, including an 87% offer-to-closure rate while modernizing hiring workflows.

At Alter Square, I’ve owned full-cycle recruitment for niche technical roles (AI, Full-stack, Backend) and filled 13+ critical mandates within aggressive startup timelines. I orchestrated AI-assisted recruitment workflows to automate candidate screening and test distribution, improving pipeline velocity by 40% while enhancing candidate experience.

I also architect standardized technical assessment frameworks and evaluation scorecards to ensure 100% consistency in quality-of-hire across engineering and marketing teams. To make hiring repeatable and scalable, I develop and document recruitment playbooks (SOPs) from requirement intake through onboarding, streamlining collaboration between HR and Technical Leadership.

Previously, as an HR Consultant (Folkfactor) and HR Recruiter across multiple companies (including Eudaimonix Service Partners-ESPL and CashMauj), I partnered with hiring managers, defined hiring goals and profiles, managed sourcing strategies, and conducted in-depth interviews and assessments. My professional ethos is simple: use high-signal processes, measurable automation, and stakeholder alignment to hire the right talent—faster.
