I’m an HR professional who loves building things from the ground up — systems, processes, hiring pipelines, onboarding journeys, documentation, everything. I’ve spent years working with growing startups where HR had to be built from scratch, scaled fast, and still feel human. That’s where I do my best work. My approach is simple: Make HR clean, organised, dependable — and make hiring exceptionally strong. I don’t believe in overcomplicating things. I believe in designing HR processes that actually work in day-to-day operations (but of-course compliant). What I specialize in * Building hiring pipelines from scratch - Manual/ATS * Fast & accurate screening * LinkedIn sourcing * High-quality shortlisting * Partnering with founders/teams to define roles clearly I understand the pressure of startup hiring and I deliver results quickly, with clarity and consistency. HR Operations & People Processes Here’s what I bring: * Building HR systems, workflows, and people practices from the ground up * Designing hiring strategies, processes, and talent pipelines that actually attract the right people * Shaping onboarding experiences that integrate new hires smoothly and confidently * Working closely with founders to solve people challenges with clarity and structure * Creating policies, role frameworks, and organisational clarity without making things bureaucratic * Bringing order, consistency, and trust into all people-related processes
