About

Professional summary

I am a Talent Acquisition Consultant with five years of experience across in-house and agency recruitment, specializing in technology and commercial hiring throughout EMEA.

I manage the full recruitment lifecycle, from intake meetings and requirement gathering through sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer management, and onboarding.

I specialize in headhunting and direct search for hard-to-fill positions. My sourcing approach includes market mapping, talent pipeline development, longlisting, shortlisting, cold calling, referrals, Boolean search, and X-Ray search.

I partner closely with founders, CTOs, CISOs, senior leaders, and hiring managers to deliver effective hiring outcomes. I have recruited across ERP, cybersecurity, IT infrastructure, engineering, sales, marketing, customer success, and business development.

I have experience supporting cross-border recruitment and relocation into the GCC, including hiring for oil and gas, maritime, drilling, telecommunications, cybersecurity, gaming, and industrial organizations.

I am fluent in English and Russian and am a native Bulgarian speaker. I am currently based in Dubai, UAE, and am open to new opportunities.
