What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-first talent acquisition role where I can run full-cycle hiring, use structured interviews and English/Spanish evaluations, and partner with managers to scale teams across the U.S. and LATAM.

I’m a recruiter and organizational psychologist with more than three years of experience hiring talent across the U.S. and LATAM. I run full-cycle recruitment—sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding—while evaluating candidate fit and English proficiency with attention to detail and strong candidate communication.

I’ve supported rapid growth by exceeding recruitment targets by 100%, and I’ve prepared structured evaluation reports and feedback for hiring managers. I’m comfortable working U.S. hours for remote-first teams and using tools like Freshteam, Rippling, and ATS/interview workflows, plus professional AI tools to improve sourcing and candidate experiences.
