What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my recruitment expertise in a dynamic environment, focusing on innovative hiring strategies and fostering a diverse workplace culture.

As a dedicated Technical Recruiter, I have a proven track record of hiring top-tier technical talent in fast-paced startup and SaaS environments. My experience spans across various roles, including Corporate Recruiter at StrongMind Inc, where I lead recruiting efforts for technical positions such as Software Engineers and UX Designers. I am passionate about optimizing the recruitment process, reducing time-to-hire, and improving the quality of new hires through data-driven strategies.

Throughout my career, I have successfully revitalized onboarding programs to ensure new employees are properly integrated and engaged. My collaborative approach involves teaming with CEOs and senior leaders to align hiring strategies with business needs and long-term goals. I have been recognized for my innovative interview techniques and excellent talent acquisition results, which have significantly contributed to building a strong employer brand.
