Need qualified candidates without spending hours searching LinkedIn, screening resumes, and chasing people who aren't actually interested? I help startups, agencies, and growing companies find, screen, and move qualified/hard to find candidates through the hiring process quickly especially for technical, sales, aviation, creative, and operational roles. My approach is simple: find the right people, qualify them properly, keep the pipeline organized, and give you candidates worth interviewing. What I Can Help You Hire I have experience sourcing across global markets including North America, Europe, Canada, Australia, Africa, India, and the Philippines. Roles I've sourced include: • Management Roles - Head of Sales, Regional Directors/Managers, Country Managers • Software Developers — Frontend, Backend & Full-Stack • DevOps & Cloud Engineers • Data Engineers • Reconciliation Specialists • Technical Engineers & Tech Leads • Aircraft Maintenance Engineers — M1, M2, S & E • SDRs, BDRs & Account Executives • Business Development & Sales Professionals • Head of Product Marketing • IT Project Manager (USA) • Customer Service Representatives ( Danish, Dutch, Spanish French) Speakers • AI Annotators • Video Editors & Creative Professionals • Photographers & Media Specialists • Other remote and operational roles What I Bring to Your Hiring Process I don't believe recruiting is about sending a pile of resumes and hoping one works. I focus on quality, speed, and communication throughout the pipeline. I can handle: • Candidate sourcing & talent research • LinkedIn & Boolean sourcing • Job board sourcing • Resume screening & shortlisting • Candidate pre-screening • Structured interviews • Candidate qualification • Interview scheduling & coordination • ATS & recruitment pipeline management • Candidate follow-up • Hiring manager updates • Recruitment workflow improvement Results That Matter • Sourced and shortlisted 50+ qualified candidates in one month • Recruited 400+ research participants within two weeks • Sourced 500+ marketing professionals across multiple international markets • Managed candidates from initial sourcing through screening and hiring recommendations • Built organized recruitment pipelines that helped reduce delays and candidate drop-off Tools I Work With LinkedIn | Boolean Search | Indeed | GitHub | Upwork | Zoho Recruit | BambooHR | BreezyHR | SAP SuccessFactors | Paycor Recruiting | Google Workspace | GoLogin | ATS & recruitment platforms Why Clients Work With Me You won't have to wonder where your candidates are in the process. I keep recruitment organized, communicate clearly, follow up consistently, and make sure every candidate presented has been properly evaluated against the role. Whether you're hiring one difficult-to-fill position or building a larger talent pipeline, I can take the sourcing and screening workload off your plate. If you need a proactive recruiter/headhunter who can source proactively, screen carefully, and keep your hiring pipeline organised and moving, please send me a message. Send a message today.
