What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can scale recruitment operations across international markets, strengthen hiring analytics and candidate experience, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to support rapid project growth.

I am a recruitment and operations specialist with extensive experience delivering high-volume hiring pipelines and market-entry strategies across Europe and APAC, supporting tech, education, insurance, and consumer-brand clients. I have a proven track record reducing time-to-hire by up to 50% and increasing candidate volume 3–5X through targeted sourcing campaigns.

I have led global recruitment operations for tech and AI-mapping projects, entering 10+ international markets and owning pipelines across 12+ countries while managing simultaneous hiring cycles and training new recruiters to scale functions. My work includes salary benchmarking, market-entry research, structured candidate engagement, and providing hiring analytics to inform strategic decisions.

Multilingual and adaptable, I bring experience in in-house, agency, and freelance settings, supporting end-to-end recruitment, medical/insurance coordination, and project logistics. I prioritize data-driven processes, strong stakeholder partnership, and candidate experience to deliver timely, quality hires for fast-moving initiatives.
