I source hard-to-find technical, security, GTM, and executive talent using market data and targeted search strategies.
UkraineWhat I'm looking for
I'm a talent sourcer helping global and startup teams hire hard-to-find people, from niche engineers and security researchers to GTM leaders and C-level executives.
At Sporty Group, I own six concurrent technical searches across Security, QA, Data/AI, and Backend Engineering. I use talent pool sizing, funnel metrics, and compensation benchmarks to help hiring teams scope realistic searches, and I co-lead an AI initiative to automate sourcing workflows.
At Equally Talent, I served as the sole sourcing partner for Cracken.ai across AI, cybersecurity, technical, and leadership roles. I expanded deep-tech searches beyond LinkedIn into GitHub, Google Scholar, and conferences, and helped fill roles including Enterprise AE, Full-Stack Engineer, Malware Researcher, and Chief AI Engineer.
Across agency and in-house recruitment, I've delivered hires across the US, Europe, APAC, LATAM, and Ukraine. I build role-specific screens, test outreach, standardize sourcing operations, and adapt search strategies to the realities of each market.
