What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a fully remote recruitment role serving UK, US, EU or international markets, where I can own full-cycle hiring, solve hard-to-fill vacancies and build scalable sourcing and delivery processes.

I've delivered full-cycle recruitment across UK, US and international markets, filling specialist, technical, senior and hard-to-fill roles across digital marketing, technology, engineering, skilled trades, healthcare and finance.

At Advanced Digital Automotive Group, I led US-facing recruitment delivery across digital marketing, technology, operations and senior-management hiring, building scalable SOPs, screening frameworks and KPI reporting. Through Bridgeway Talent Partners AI, I run retained, contingent and project-based RPO recruitment for technical, engineering and skilled-trades clients.

I've reduced time-to-hire by 40%, achieved 85–90% offer acceptance and 95% client satisfaction, and filled five long-open US RPO vacancies within eight weeks. I combine Boolean/X-Ray search, LinkedIn Recruiter and AI-assisted sourcing with structured candidate engagement and sound recruiter judgement.
