HR Specialist | Talent Acquisition | LinkedIn Recruiter | AI Sourcing

Ibadan, Nigeria
$25 per hour
3 jobs

I'm a full-cycle recruiter and HR specialist with 14+ years across HR and management consulting, most recently building an HR function from scratch for an oil & gas company. I run recruitment from the first job ad through to signed offer and onboarding, so you're not handing candidates between a sourcer and a closer. What I do: 1. Source and screen candidates across LinkedIn, Indeed and other job boards 2. Conduct phone and video interviews, then give you a short, honest recommendation on each shortlisted candidate, including gaps and fit, not just a forwarded CV 3. Manage the pipeline end to end: outreach, follow-ups, scheduling, offer letters, onboarding 4. Handle high-volume hiring without losing candidate experience 5. Write job ads that pull the right applicants, not just more applicants 6. Keep an organised, up-to-date pipeline in your ATS or tracker of choice 7. Draft the HR paperwork around the hire: offer letters, onboarding, policy documents Beyond recruiting, I bring real HR depth: GPHR certified, strongest in global talent management and workplace culture, so I can also advise on the JD itself, comp positioning, or retention, not just fill the seat. Based in Nigeria, comfortable covering UK, US or EMEA hours depending on the brief. Reliable internet, and I'll tell you plainly if a timeline or ask isn't realistic rather than string you along. If you want someone who treats your pipeline like it's their own business and reports back clearly on what's happening, let's talk.

Operations Manager | Projects & Process Improvement

I help businesses get organised, improve how they operate, and consistently get work done. I'm an Operations & Project Manager with 4+ years of experience supporting startups, global companies and growing businesses across operations, project delivery, process improvement and business execution. My strength is taking work that is scattered, inefficient or difficult to manage and turning it into a clear, structured system that people can actually use. What I can help you with: • Business and day-to-day operations • Project planning and execution • Process improvement and SOPs • Workflow and task management systems • Airtable, Notion, ClickUp and other productivity systems • KPI dashboards and reporting • Vendor and stakeholder management • Operations documentation and administrative workflows • Budget tracking and financial monitoring • Research, analysis and operational problem-solving A few examples of the results I've delivered: • Built a work operating system from scratch for a growing fintech, supporting the launch of a product that has since reached 200,000+ downloads. • Improved project execution efficiency by 30% through better timelines, workflows and cross-functional coordination. • Coordinated 10+ regional projects across Europe, Africa and Asia while reducing vendor delays by 20% and saving $50K+ annually through cost negotiations. • Managed operational audits and vendor performance for 20+ brands at Amazon, contributing to a 20x improvement in category efficiency. • Improved product availability by 40% month-on-month through supply-chain risk and compliance improvements. • Built project timelines and operating structures that contributed to a 95% on-time completion rate across multiple client projects. I am particularly effective when a founder or team needs someone who can take ownership, bring structure to the business, follow through on details and improve the way work gets done. I'm comfortable working independently, managing multiple priorities and communicating with stakeholders across different functions and time zones. If your business is growing and the operations haven't quite caught up yet, I can help you fix that.
