What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in HR where I can leverage my skills and contribute to team success.

I am a dedicated and diligent bilingual Bachelor's graduate in International Relations, specializing in International Trade. With a strong commitment to excellence, I am eager to embrace fresh challenges in the Human Resources and Talent Acquisition industry. My experience as a Specialist Recruiter has equipped me with the skills necessary to conduct effective bilingual recruitment, utilizing diverse sourcing platforms to attract top talent across various sectors.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to manage the entire recruitment process, from candidate sourcing to onboarding. My role at Foundever involved meticulous candidate assessment through phone screenings and video interviews, ensuring a smooth transition for new hires. I pride myself on my assertive communication and adaptability, which have allowed me to thrive in fast-paced environments while maintaining database integrity and fulfilling client-requested candidate quotas.

In addition to my recruitment expertise, I have experience in operations support and administrative assistance, where I honed my organizational and decision-making skills. I am passionate about contributing to an organization's success and am committed to making meaningful contributions that align with its goals.
