About

Professional summary

I am a full-cycle recruitment professional with experience managing sourcing, screening, interview coordination, selection, onboarding, and placement across international and remote hiring environments.

I build and maintain effective candidate pipelines, partner closely with hiring managers, and create positive candidate experiences through clear communication, timely follow-up, and structured assessments.

I use recruitment data, reporting, and process tracking to identify bottlenecks and improve hiring outcomes. In my recruitment work, I reduced average time-to-hire from 45 to 20 days and improved probation completion by 30%.

I bring HR administration and people operations experience, including employee data management, onboarding documentation, HRIS support, payroll-related query handling, and process standardisation.

I am technically minded and continue to develop my capabilities in Workday HCM, Excel, Power BI, AI-enabled recruitment, workforce analytics, and automation. I combine strong stakeholder management with a high level of ownership, organisation, and attention to detail.
