What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead talent acquisition and recruiting operations—building structured hiring processes, owning SLA/KPIs, and using AI automation to improve placement rates, time-to-hire, and candidate experience at high-growth teams.

I’m a results-driven Talent Acquisition leader with 8+ years of experience running full-cycle recruiting and building scalable hiring infrastructure for high-growth technology companies. I partner with senior engineering and product leadership to design structured, data-backed hiring processes.

I consistently deliver measurable outcomes, including 40–85% improvements in placement rates and 30–50% reductions in time-to-hire across Technology, Fintech, and EMEA/APAC markets. In my most recent engagement, I architected and deployed an end-to-end hiring engine from scratch, achieving an 85% increase in successful placements and a 50% reduction in time-to-hire.

I’m a practitioner of AI-powered recruitment automation—using Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini—alongside lightweight tooling with Google Apps Script and Microsoft Power Platform. I’ve also led and mentored a team of 7 recruiters, owned KPI frameworks and forecasting across 20+ active requisitions, and built interview programs that improve candidate experience and pipeline health.
