What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a people-centered talent acquisition role where I can own end-to-end recruitment, partner with global stakeholders, improve hiring KPIs, and strengthen employer branding—while building teams that deliver great candidate experiences.

I’m a people-first talent acquisition and recruitment leader with 4 years of Guidance and Counseling experience and dedicated 12 years in Human Resources and Recruitment. I’ve taught English and General Psychology to college students, and I bring the same empathy and communication focus into every hiring cycle.

In my current role as a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, I own end-to-end recruitment processes—identifying, attracting, and retaining top talents in Cebu and Manila. I partner with Australian stakeholders to build the Philippines team, manage job postings and candidate pipelines in Teamtailor, and coordinate communication across candidates and internal teams.

Across roles like Manager, People and Places and Recruitment Manager/Technical Project Coordinator, I’ve led recruiting strategies, set hiring goals, and tracked KPIs such as time to hire, source of hire, and time to fill. I’ve also strengthened employer branding through platforms like LinkedIn and supported hiring events and job fairs, ensuring an efficient, positive candidate experience from sourcing to onboarding.
