About

Hi there! I’m Karine, a talent matchmaker with a passion for connecting people to purpose, and helping companies find talents that truly belong in their culture. Growing up as an “Army brat,” I moved every couple of years, infiltrating new places, cultures, and perspectives. Each move taught me to decode social dynamics quickly: reading behavior, understanding cultural nuances, and identifying who was truly aligned with my values. These skills became my foundation for understanding people and ultimately my passion for recruitment! Over the last 20 years, I have traveled to over 50 countries and lived across Africa, Asia-Pacific and nine years in Australia where Orama was born. There, I have perfected this art of matchmaking for businesses across industries and continents.🌎 My approach is far beyond simply “filling a position.” For me, it’s about finding the perfect synergy, the belonging that happens when a person’s motivations and values align seamlessly with a company’s mission and culture. At Orama, which means “seeing the big picture”, I have made it my mission to balance business strategy with human connection. Ensuring every placement feels less like a transaction and more like a professional love story 💚💛💖 Let’s go beyond just filling positions...let’s build your team with purpose! ✨
