What I'm looking for

I am seeking HR or recruitment roles to apply my recruitment and HR administration skills in a supportive, team-focused company that values ethics, development and offers growth and flexibility.

I am a dynamic and dedicated HR professional with a solid background in recruitment and HR administration. I have a proven record of creating employee profiles, conducting interviews, sourcing candidates and coordinating assessments while demonstrating strong decision-making, teamwork, discretion and ethics.

I have experience in HR document administration, talent acquisition and small business development, including creating social media presence and analyzing business analytics. I have gaps within my CV which stems from the time taking off to look after my kids, and I am ready to return to the workforce and pursue my HR career.
