I source global software and AI talent through data-driven, end-to-end recruitment.
What I'm looking for
At micro1, I source, screen, and refer global software engineering, AI/ML, and data talent for remote contractor roles. I manage the candidate journey from targeted outreach through AI-vetted interviews, certification, project matching, and hiring.
Across Sahim, Sahseh, Smart Vehicle Transport, Complete Energy Solutions, Edgestone Contracting, and Securitas Egypt, I’ve delivered full-cycle recruiting and HR operations support. I matched 50+ job seekers to relevant opportunities at Sahim and reduced time-to-interview by 33% through direct outreach and social recruiting.
I combine technical sourcing, Boolean search, LinkedIn recruiting, candidate assessment, workforce planning, compliance, and employee relations. I’m also building an Enterprise Data Partnerships initiative that connects operationally mature companies with permissible business-process knowledge for AI training and evaluation.
