Valeriia Virchenko — Head of Talent
I don’t just scale teams; I build the ecosystems that attract them. In high-growth sectors like iGaming and Tech, finding talent is only half the battle — the other half is creating a brand that talent actually wants to join. I specialize in transforming recruitment from a transactional role into a key business driver. My approach combines deep data analytics with a strong focus on Employer Branding. I believe a healthy brand isn't just about visibility; it’s a strategic asset that directly improves Time-to-Hire, Cost-per-Hire, and long-term retention. What I focus on: Strategic Employer Branding: I’ve led initiatives to build and reposition employer brands from the ground up. By aligning our internal culture with our external market presence, I’ve successfully reduced hiring friction and attracted top-tier talent in highly competitive markets. Scaling & Operations: I have a track record of building recruitment engines for 1,000+ FTE environments, ensuring that rapid scaling doesn't compromise the quality of hire. Data-Driven Leadership: I use recruitment metrics not just for reporting, but to find bottlenecks, optimize budgets, and prove the ROI of our talent strategies to C-level stakeholders. Stakeholder Partnership: I act as a strategic partner to hiring managers and executives, helping them translate business goals into actionable workforce plans. I am passionate about building high-performing recruitment teams where every member understands their impact on the company’s success Built recruitment teams from the ground up and led executive search projects in iGaming Designed and implemented onboarding programs for smooth integration of new hires Introduced automation and AI tools to streamline HR processes and boost efficiency Comfortable working with high-load systems and multitasking in dynamic settings Negotiated with partners, suppliers, and stakeholders at all corporate levels Relied on analytics and data-driven decision-making to support business growth Each new challenge is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and help teams thrive.
