About

I don’t just fill roles; I help companies build high-performing teams, whether it’s in the tech space or across global functions. For years, I worked in the AWS, DevOps, Cloud, Data, and Development hiring tech space, partnering with startups and enterprises to find not just candidates, but the right people. Recruitment has always been more than sourcing resumes for me; it's about understanding individuals, their motivations, and how they align with a company’s culture and values. With a background in organizational psychology and HR, I approach hiring like solving a puzzle; matching talent with opportunity. Now, Recruitment Manager at OPP, my role is more strategic while remaining hands on as well. I am responsible for the recruitment process from A to Z, as well as the strategy, and the stakeholder management. What I Bring to the Table: Proven Results: I’ve reduced time-to-hire by 20% and placed top talent in high-demand roles, from engineers to strategic leadership. Market Expertise: Staying ahead of hiring trends, salary shifts, and evolving tech landscapes to provide insights that drive better hiring decisions. Long-Term Vision: Focused on employer branding, candidate experience, and market positioning, because hiring isn’t just about filling vacancies; it’s about building teams that last. Whether you're looking to hire or just want to chat about recruitment trends, feel free to connect. 📥 georgios@onlinepaymentplatform.com
