I have successfully helped businesses by using data-driven process improvement and assist in: - Automating their back end operations - Drive enterprise improvements and integrate new technology solutions, project, and change management - Reduce operating costs, improve scalability, and faciliate hands off smooth growth - Increased my own Website's AI readability and SEO rank from 30 to 8 within 3 weeks. Notable client results: - 45% increase in customer satisfaction within 1 quarter - $77k in ongoing operating costs sourced with no impact to service, whilst increasing the customer experience - $120K savings in staffing resources 1) Process Automation & Optimization: I design and implement automated systems to eliminate manual repetitive tasks and workarounds. 2) Scalability Blueprint: I review your current tech stack and financial workflows to identify bottlenecks that will limit future growth. I implement standardized procedures and clean up existing data backlogs to ensure your financial records are always investor-ready and ready to absorb a 2x or 5x increase in transaction volume without hiring extra staff. 3) Strategic Financial Reporting: Beyond bank reconciliation and compliance (AR/AP, Payroll, Tax Prep), I provide high-impact reports like Cash Flow Forecasts and KPI Dashboards that allow you to make smart, informed decisions about hiring, inventory, and capital investment. You will have more time to work on the business knowing it can run without your regular oversight. Ready to transform your business?

Hi, I am Tayla, a recruitment specialist and B2B sales talent partner. I help growing teams build simple, human hiring systems so they can find the right people, not just fill seats. I am currently a B2B Sales Talent Partner with Earlywork, working fully remote and assessing candidates across motivation, confidence, resilience, communication and emotional intelligence. Before that, I spent years in agency and internal recruitment, plus hands on HR and operations in wild environments like a remote island resort. Now I use that mix to support clients online with recruitment and hiring ops. What I can help with - Recruitment support - Writing job ads and role profiles that actually attract the right applicants - Screening CVs and shortlisting candidates against clear, agreed criteria - Running first stage interviews and structured screening calls - Preparing clear candidate summaries so you can make fast decisions - Reference checks and candidate communication so no one is left hanging Hiring systems and admin - Setting up or cleaning a simple ATS, spreadsheet or Notion based pipeline - Creating interview scorecards and question banks for your team - Organising interview schedules across time zones - Tagging and organising your existing candidate pool so it is actually usable Light people operations support - Onboarding checklists and day one info packs for new starters - Basic hiring and communication templates for small teams - Simple feedback surveys around hiring and onboarding so you can improve each round How I work - Remote first: I have been working fully remote across Upwork, Airtasker and Earlywork since early 2024. Clear communication, organised systems and respectful candidate experience are non negotiables for me. - Startup ready: I am comfortable with vague briefs and shifting priorities. I can take what is in your head and turn it into a repeatable hiring process. - Human and honest: I love interviewing and making people feel seen, while still being direct about what is and is not a fit. If you want someone who can own the detail of your hiring while you stay focused on the bigger picture, send me a message with what you are hiring for and I will share how I would support you in week one.
