What I'm looking for

I seek senior HR or executive search roles advising clients on hiring strategy, organizational design, and talent acquisition within hospitality or real estate, with opportunities for client-facing work and travel.

I am a senior HR and recruitment consultant with deep experience in executive search, talent acquisition, and HR operations across Europe and the Middle East. I have led senior-level mandates and full-cycle recruitment for mid- to senior-level hospitality and real estate roles.

I advise clients on team structures, salary benchmarking, and organizational design, and I deliver market mapping, shortlisting, interviewing, and finalist presentation. I provide actionable market insights and hiring strategy recommendations that drive successful placements.

My background includes HR business partnering, leadership in fast-growing startups, and establishing international branches with responsibility for operations, stakeholder relations, and compliance. I combine practical HR management—onboarding, benefits, policy, and labor law—with recruitment process improvement using analytics.

I am professional in German and English, a native Persian speaker, and learning Spanish; I am willing to travel for business and committed to strengthening client partnerships through proactive support and on-site engagement.
