What I'm looking for

I seek a remote or hybrid HR/recruitment role where I can lead technical hiring, build processes and systems, coach hiring teams, improve remote culture, and contribute to HR strategy in a growth-oriented company.

I am a recruitment and HR professional with hands-on experience in technical hiring, HR operations, and building processes from scratch. I have worked primarily with start-ups and boutique agencies to create systems that scale.

I owned full 360 recruitment and HR processes, recruiting FTEs and contractors across Canada, the US, and the EU; I developed active and passive pipelines, crafted boolean search strings, ran technical assessments, and coached hiring teams through selection and interviews.

In HR operations I built onboarding and offboarding workflows, managed payroll reporting and scheduling, created a pseudo HR database/ATS with NextCloud and OnlyOffice, and used LimeSurvey and analytics to advise senior leadership on engagement and policy decisions.

I also led QA operations and small technical teams for special projects, produced training videos using OBS and OpenShot, implemented automated QA using Appium and Robot, and acted as a project manager and team lead when required—always eager to trial and adopt effective tools and processes.
