I’m looking for remote opportunities in Recruiting and Talent Acquisition where I can contribute across sourcing, screening, candidate assessment, behavioral interviewing, coordination, and candidate experience. I’m especially interested in international teams where I can continue developing through hands-on recruiting and structured evaluation.

Recruiter with a Psychology background, focused on behavioral interviewing, candidate assessment, sourcing, and remote hiring.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Talent Acquisition Recruiter with a professional background in Psychology and hands-on experience in remote recruiting across LATAM and international teams.
I currently work as a freelance recruiter on project-based searches, handling candidate sourcing, screening, pre-screening, pipeline management, and initial assessment. I identify candidates through LinkedIn, inbound applications, and Google X-Ray Search, and use structured criteria and scorecards to evaluate profiles against role requirements.
Previously, at Fonselp.org, I contributed to full-cycle recruitment for remote teams across LATAM and Spain. I filled 10 positions within three months, conducted 30+ competency-based interviews using the STAR methodology, and achieved an average time-to-hire of approximately one week.
My background in Psychology strengthens my approach to behavioral interviewing, competency assessment, communication analysis, and evidence-based evaluation.
I’m interested in remote and international opportunities in Recruiting and Talent Acquisition where I can continue developing across sourcing, candidate assessment, recruitment coordination, and candidate experience.
