About

Hey connections! My name is Kate. 🌟 IT Global Search Recruiter with a Strong Business Focus 🌟 I am a Technical recruiter with 5+ years of experience specializing in FinTech and IT sectors. I have successfully filled diverse roles, IT such as QA, Analytics, Backend/Frontend developers, Project Managers, L1/L2 support engineers, etc. and non IT (SDR, Account Managers, etc). I am managing the full cycle of recruitment for roles in banking technologies, crypto payments, and other FinTech areas. My expertise spans advanced sourcing techniques such as direct search, boolean search, and X-Ray, supported by ATS like Lever, Huntflow, and BambooHR to enhance hiring efficiency and analytics. My biggest strength is sourcing - especially for hard-to-fill or niche roles. I enjoy digging deep, using Boolean search, LinkedIn, and other tools to find candidates others might miss. It’s like solving a puzzle, and I love the challenge. - over 3000 interviews conducted - Closed 130+ technical and business roles across EMEA, LATAM, Africa and APAC markets, reducing reliance on external agencies and saving the company an estimated €50,000+ in hiring fees On a personal note: I am attending drama classes, enjoy opera, and hiking. For example, in 2023 I have visited Mount Etna (3,403 m), in 2024, I reached the Thorong La Pass in Nepal at an altitude of 5,400 meters and Uhuru Peak (Kilimanjaro), at 5,895 meters above sea level in Tanzania 2025.
