What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote work where I can own full-cycle recruitment and HR operations—building ATS-driven pipelines, running structured assessments, and supporting executives with inbox, calendars, research, and onboarding reporting in fast-paced, multi-client environments.

I’m a remote talent acquisition and HR operations specialist with 7+ years of experience owning full-cycle recruitment and delivering high-quality executive virtual assistance. I manage everything from job scoping and structured, competency-based interviews to offer management and onboarding—while keeping hiring processes running smoothly through ATS workflow optimisation.

I’ve consistently improved hiring outcomes: reducing time-to-fill by 20%, increasing qualified applications by 20%, and improving candidate quality by 15%. I’ve managed 50+ end-to-end placements per quarter across Kenya, the Middle East, and China, maintaining an 80%+ offer acceptance rate, building talent pipelines of 300+ profiles, and coordinating HRIS data setup, documentation, and onboarding feedback collection with strict compliance to GDPR and Kenya’s data protection requirements.
