I’m a talent acquisition specialist pairing sourcing with cross-market hiring impact.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Talent Acquisition Specialist focused on the UK market, translating hiring needs into targeted sourcing and strong candidate experiences. Previously, I recruited for the French market and supported remote IT recruiting, using English and French video interviews to reach talent across Belgium.
Beyond recruiting, I’ve built commercial and training expertise as a Sales Team Leader, Trainer, and Recruiter (including Europe and Maghreb coverage). I also delivered e-learning storyboards for a large youth integration program and I’m comfortable using ATS and hiring tools like Smartrecruiters, Greenhouse, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator to execute end-to-end talent processes.
