About

Experience in Talent Acquisition & Human Resources, I have a proven track record of building strong talent networks and specializing in employee relations and talent acquisition. As a member of an international talent acquisition team, I focus exclusively on recruitment strategies, hiring deliverables, college relationships, executive Search and employee satisfaction. My expertise lies in driving down cost per hire, increasing candidate and hiring manager satisfaction, improving quality of hire, and building talent pools ahead of business needs. I work closely with hiring managers to provide advice on job specifications, market conditions, competitor information, and compensation. I am instrumental in setting up hiring methodologies, candidate sourcing and management, advertising campaigns (web), diversity programs, internal mobility, and the employee referral program. My proficiency in managing teams, running successful process operations, implementing projects, and ensuring business excellence make me a valuable asset to any organization. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new places, reading books, trying out new restaurants, and spending time with my loved ones.
