Senior Recruiter returning to Upwork after a 3-year break, bringing 20+ years of recruitment experience and 2,000+ structured interviews from my earlier years on this platform.
I worked exclusively on Upwork from 2012-2023, holding Top Rated status throughout that period. My profile shows my track record from those years — 5-star reviews from clients across software engineering, digital marketing, and customer support roles. I'm now rebuilding my Upwork presence and committed to delivering the same quality.
What I help with:
• Full-cycle recruitment — sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer follow-through
• Technical recruiting — Software Engineers (front-end, back-end, full-stack, PHP), UX/UI Designers, DevOps, QA
• Digital and marketing roles — Marketing Managers, PPC, SEO/SEM, HubSpot Specialists, Copywriters
• Sales and support — B2B Sales, multilingual Customer Support, ISO experts
• Sourcing-only projects (LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, candidate lists)
Why you should consider me even though I'm rebuilding:
• 20 years of recruitment experience — I've seen every challenging hire scenario
• 2,000+ interviews on Upwork from my previous run — proven on this platform specifically
• Honest about my situation, transparent about timelines
• Available immediately for both short-term projects and longer engagements
Tools I use:
ATS: Jobvite, Bullhorn, iCIMS, Zoho Recruit, Notion
Sourcing: LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean Search, Interseller, Ebsta, RocketReach
Collaboration: Slack, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace
What I'm looking for right now:
Smaller projects (sourcing tasks, short recruitment sprints, 1-2 hires) where I can prove my work. Open to long-term collaborations once we've built trust through a smaller engagement first.
Languages: English (full professional proficiency), Serbian (native)

Hi, I’m Bogdan - a headhunter with 7+ years of experience building teams that make a real difference.
It all started when I began an internship at a small US-based headhunting agency at 18. Within the first 3 months of training, I billed over $250k and became the agency’s top biller. I was fortunate to learn directly from some of the industry’s top minds and that has shaped the way I work ever since.
After that, I launched my own desk and went on to help scale 4 startups from zero to exit ; not just as a recruiter, but as a strategic partner. I worked directly with founders, helped build teams, solved million-dollar problems, and gave them a competitive edge when it mattered most.
One of my core strengths is the ability to understand the market and competition better than most founders themselves – and that has been my advantage from day one.
I’ve worked across many roles, but my focus has always been on technical and marketing/creative profiles...
Industry expertise:
DTC/Direct Response (ecomm,nutra,info,H+W,coaches,) I understand every signal aspect of industry (tech,creative,media,ops,cro) and AI startups.
Work with multiple 7-9 figures DTC brands/info products, and build their hiring systems from scratch.
One promise: the day we start working together is the day your competitors get a serious problem.
btw, i’m totally down for success-fee work. i’d crush it. 🔥
