I source niche technical and commercial talent across European markets through proactive mapping and pipeline building.
What I'm looking for
I recruit niche technical and commercial talent across Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Romania and France at Ascom, managing around 30 vacancies at a time. I partner with hiring managers to build pipelines for critical systems engineering and sales roles.
Previously at Arcadis, I sourced difficult-to-find specialists including hydrologists, water technology leaders, transmission and distribution engineers, and heritage consultants across Dutch, German and French markets. I use proactive talent mapping and focused sourcing strategies to maintain a flow of qualified candidates.
I've also delivered 360-degree recruitment for DHL and DSV through ManpowerGroup and filled 11 permanent and temporary roles within seven months at Language Matters. I work fluently across German, French, Dutch, English and Mandarin, bringing an international perspective to candidate engagement and stakeholder relationships.
