I am a recruitment leader with over a decade of experience in candidate acquisition, stakeholder management, and end-to-end recruitment across high-end construction and insurance sectors. I lead and execute recruitment strategies, build business plans, present to senior leadership, and reduce agency dependency through direct sourcing and PSL management.
