Samantha Nel

I've led end-to-end tech hiring for Tribe.xyz clients including Glovo, where I delivered 9 iOS hires against a target of 5, closed 4 Data roles in four months, and achieved a 100% candidate NPS score in my first project quarter.

Embedded with Microsoft EMEA Engineering through Join Talent, I recruited Principal Software Engineers and Senior to Principal Engineering Managers across Serbia and Europe. I reduced time-to-hire for critical Serbian teams by 50%, achieved 110% of hiring targets, and earned +80% candidate NPS through data insights, AI-driven outreach, automation, and close hiring-manager partnership.

Across 25 years in tech and non-tech recruitment, I've built and led teams, delivered embedded and RPO projects, and improved recruitment systems for scale-ups and enterprise clients including TikTok, Hazelcast, KPMG, BMW, and Dimension Data. I enjoy making an impact, delivering projects, and building strong relationships with clients, colleagues, and candidates.
