What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters diversity, innovation, and strategic growth opportunities.

I am a versatile Talent Acquisition Specialist with over 10 years of experience in delivering full-cycle recruitment for global corporates, scale-ups, and agencies across various industries including IT, Finance, and Healthcare. My expertise lies in volume hiring, executive search, and recruitment project management, where I have successfully filled over 24 positions annually across multiple functions.

At Cognizant, I implemented employer branding campaigns that boosted applicant flow by 40% and reduced time-to-hire by 35%. I have a proven track record of partnering with hiring managers and C-level executives for strategic workforce planning, driving diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and leveraging AI tools for sourcing and talent forecasting.

My commitment to inclusive talent attraction is evident through my leadership in campus and diversity hiring initiatives across EMEA. I am passionate about optimizing recruitment processes and building cross-functional talent pools that contribute to organizational growth and transformation.
