What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic recruiting team where I can contribute to effective talent strategies and support company growth.

I am a results-driven Technical Recruiting professional with extensive experience in full-cycle recruiting, candidate sourcing, and strategic hiring initiatives. I have a proven ability to build and maintain strong relationships with hiring managers, drive recruitment strategies, and optimize talent acquisition processes. My specialty lies in sourcing tech talent for high-growth startups, and I am adept at identifying top talent across multiple industries.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed the full recruitment lifecycle for various technical positions, collaborating closely with hiring managers and IT professionals to align talent with business needs. My achievements include maintaining a 98% offer to acceptance ratio and onboarding numerous enterprise clients, significantly improving hiring efficiency through data-driven approaches. I am passionate about fostering cross-functional collaboration and mentoring junior recruiters to enhance their skills and effectiveness.
