Building high-performing teams requires more than hiring great talent; it requires strong people strategies, scalable HR processes, and a trusted partner who understands business. With 10+ years of HR experience, I help startups, scale-ups, and multinational organizations build and manage thriving workforces across the US, UK, Africa, Asia, and EMEA. I specialize in delivering end-to-end HR solutions, including global talent acquisition, people operations, HR policy development, employee relations, performance management, organizational design, compliance, and HR process optimization. Whether you're establishing an HR function from the ground up or strengthening an existing one, I provide practical, business-focused solutions that drive growth, improve employee experience, and ensure compliance. I have successfully partnered with organizations across Renewable Energy, Telecommunications, FinTech, E-commerce, and Sustainability, supporting remote and distributed teams while implementing best-in-class HR practices. I am experienced in recruiting for technical, leadership, and corporate roles, developing HR frameworks, streamlining HR operations, and advising leaders on workforce planning and organizational effectiveness. I am proficient in BambooHR, Odoo, Workable, LinkedIn Recruiter, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Asana, ClickUp, and other modern HR and collaboration tools. If you're looking for a proactive HR partner who can seamlessly integrate with your team, attract exceptional talent, build compliant HR processes, and support your business as it grows, I'd love to help.

Scaling your team shouldn't stall your business. I help startups and SMBs hire the right technical and non-technical talent, faster, and without the back-and-forth. I'm a Talent Acquisition Specialist and Co-Founder of Talent Partners Ltd, a recruitment consultancy placing candidates across Africa, Europe, and the Americas. On Upwork, I take on select sourcing and full-cycle recruitment projects where I can deliver the same standard of work. What makes my approach different: I combine traditional Boolean search and LinkedIn Recruiter with AI-assisted screening tools to build pipelines that are both fast and high-quality. In a recent sourcing project, I screened over 466 candidates and delivered a qualified shortlist for multiple engineering roles, all remotely, across time zones. ✅ What I deliver: — Qualified candidate shortlists within 24–72 hours — Full-cycle recruitment: sourcing → screening → coordination → offer — Strong pipelines for technical roles (software engineers, data analysts, QA) — Cross-border hiring across Africa, Europe, and the Americas — 80–90% offer acceptance rate Tools I work with: LinkedIn Recruiter, Manatal, Calendly, Boolean search, AI screening tools, Zoom, Google Workspace Certified: GCA Workforce Competency Assessment, Recruitment Management (100%, June 2026) If your pipeline has gone cold or a role has been open too long, that's exactly the problem I solve. Let's talk.
