What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values diversity, fosters collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dynamic and results-driven Talent Acquisition Manager with extensive experience leading international recruitment teams in fast-paced environments. My proven expertise lies in designing and executing talent acquisition strategies that align with business objectives, enhancing employer branding, and building high-performing, diverse teams. I leverage data, KPIs, and analytics to drive recruitment performance and decision-making, ensuring a seamless candidate experience.

In my current role at TL Stare Business Consulting Solutions, I have successfully developed and executed a company-wide Talent Acquisition strategy that resulted in a 25% reduction in time-to-fill and improved quality-of-hire metrics. I am passionate about creating inclusive hiring frameworks and championing DEI initiatives, which have led to more diverse shortlists and inclusive hiring practices across business units. My commitment to continuous improvement and stakeholder engagement has consistently exceeded hiring targets and improved process efficiency.
