What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and innovation, where I can leverage my recruitment expertise to drive talent acquisition strategies and contribute to organizational growth.

I am a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist and Project Manager with extensive experience in recruitment and cross-functional project leadership. Currently, I lead recruitment efforts at Plugg Technologies, where I have successfully hired over 15 engineers and marketers using full-cycle strategies. My focus on process improvement has led to significant enhancements in onboarding and CRM workflows, ultimately boosting team efficiency.

In my previous freelancing roles, I managed a multicultural recruitment team across various regions, including LATAM, EMEA, APAC, and Africa. My data-driven approach to recruitment has consistently improved candidate experiences, reducing drop-off rates and increasing offer acceptance by 20%. I pride myself on my ability to adapt to the needs of Fortune 500 clients and fast-growing startups alike, ensuring that I deliver high-quality talent solutions.
