Do you feel like hiring is taking too much of your time and yet the results are underwhelming? Are you struggling to attract people who actually match your company’s rhythm, energy, and values?
I’m here to solve that.
With over 7 years supporting startup CEOs as an executive assistant and the last 6 years dedicated exclusively to recruiting I bring a rare mix of strategic insight, operational support, and instinct for spotting talent that fits.
What makes me different?
I use a proprietary recruitment framework I developed after years of hands-on hiring in fast-paced environments. Inspired by world-class talent systems from companies like Netflix, Stripe, and Basecamp I’ve adapted it to the real-life needs of early-stage teams.
This framework helps me consistently achieve 95%+ placement success and excellent team retention.
It aligns three critical elements:
1) Founder Vision – understanding what kind of energy and contribution the company truly needs
2) Team Dynamics – mapping the context, culture, and working rhythm of the team
3)Talent Archetypes – going beyond CVs to assess mindset, motivation, and long-term fit
It’s structure meets intuition — and it works.
Projects Delivered
- Recruited 30+ key roles for early-stage and growth-stage startups
- Designed end-to-end hiring systems from scratch
- Built onboarding processes that reduced early churn below 5%
- Acted as a Fractional People Partner for teams scaling from 3 to 30+
- Hired remote talent across Operations, Assistants, Marketing, Product, and Tech
- Helped founders identify hidden talent gaps and define hiring priorities
Available across US and European time zones.

Your hiring is stuck, or starting from zero, and you want it handled by someone senior who has done it many times.
I’m Iia, a recruiter with 12+ years of experience (9 in tech) and 300+ placements across technical and non-technical roles. I run the full cycle for you: I learn your business, build a clear hiring plan, write the job description, source and screen, run first interviews, and deliver a simple scorecard for every candidate. You get weekly updates and full transparency, so you always know where your search stands.
I work in two ways, depending on what you need:
1. Hands-on recruiter. I take a role (or a few) and fill it. First strong candidates usually within 3 to 5 business days, most roles closed in 2 to 3 weeks.
2. Fractional Hiring Lead. If hiring is stuck (roles open for months, no clear process), or you have no recruitment function yet, I build the system: process audit, funnel diagnostics, scorecards, SOPs, ATS setup, and salary benchmarking. I can also bring in my recruiters for execution while I oversee quality.
What clients rely on me for:
• Tech and non-tech roles, from developers, DevOps, QA, and data to SEO, PPC, sales, marketing, and support
• A clear “Hiring Map” for each role: sourcing plan, screening criteria, red flags, and funnel targets before sourcing begins
• An AI-powered workflow that turns interview transcripts into structured scorecards, saving you time and keeping evaluation consistent
I work remote-first and I’m used to international teams.
If you’re hiring, send me a message with the role and your ideal candidate, and I’ll tell you exactly how I’d approach it.

I help busy founders, executives, and teams stay organized, hire the right people, and get things done without constant follow-ups.
With 8+ years of experience in executive, personal, and business support, combined with hands-on recruitment and talent acquisition experience, I can take ownership of both day-to-day operations and more complex projects.
I've supported international leadership teams, managed complex administrative and personal tasks, coordinated projects, researched vendors and services, organized travel, and supported end-to-end hiring processes.
I can help you with:
• Executive & Personal Assistance
• Calendar, inbox & meeting coordination
• Travel planning and complex itineraries
• Online research & information sourcing
• Vendor and supplier research/outreach
• Recruiting & candidate sourcing
• Candidate screening and interview coordination
• ATS and recruitment administration
• Project and task coordination
• Documents, spreadsheets & presentations
• CRM and database management
• AI-assisted research and workflow optimization
Tools I use: Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Slack, Trello, Asana, Workday, Breezy, Xero, WordPress, CRM systems, LinkedIn Recruiter, ChatGPT, and other AI tools.
I'm comfortable working independently, making decisions within my area of responsibility, and handling tasks that don't come with step-by-step instructions.
My clients value that I understand what needs to be done quickly, communicate clearly, and don't require unnecessary back-and-forth.
If you're looking for a reliable right-hand person who can bring structure to both daily operations and larger projects, I'd be happy to discuss how I can help.
