What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a people-first organization where I can lead ethical, full-cycle recruitment—using LinkedIn and HRIS tools—to source leaders, nurture candidate pipelines, and partner closely with clients and teams on growth-focused hiring.

I’m a Relationship-driven Recruitment Specialist with over 10 years of experience in corporate settings, specializing in sourcing leadership talent across sectors in Canada. I build trust through ethical recruitment practices, consistent engagement, and personalized candidate communication.

My strength is full-cycle recruitment—using strategic outreach and market mapping to identify and attract top-tier candidates, then maintaining long-term pipelines with strong candidate relationship management. I’ve leveraged People at Work, Pay at Work, HRIS platforms, LinkedIn Recruiter, and job boards to streamline recruitment workflows and align hiring with project growth targets.

I also bring operational leadership experience from HR and people-focused roles, including managing onboarding, scheduling, and employee development. Whether coordinating distributed teams or supporting high-volume hiring needs, I focus on clear communication, accurate documentation, and recruitment operations that deliver measurable outcomes.
