Experience

  • REORG
    Lead Recruiter
    April 2022 - October 2022 (6 months)
    Reason for looking: Reorg has been acquired by Permira
    ●Driving candidate and stakeholder experience to reduce offer declines, from over 30% to less than 5%
    ●I introduced a new structure on hiring process, empowering stakeholders to embrace talent acquisition and establishing a recruitment regular cadence with hiring managers
    ●I was described as a 'hiring machine' by the Chief People Officer
    ●In 6 months I hired 17 candidates from New York, London, Hong Kong and Singapore, 16 direct hires and 1 referral including Account Managers, Credit Analyst to Frontend Engineers.
    ●This accelerated a number of teams to help Reorg, from a startup to scale up in 2022.
    ●Reducing average time to hire from over 90 days to 36 days.
  • DataRobot
    Lead Global Recruiter
    November 2021 - March 2022 (4 months)
    Left due to a global hiring freeze.
    ●Hiring Pre-sales Engineers, Post - sales Engineers and Sales folks who specialist in AI and Data
  • Contentful (CMS/SAAS company)
    Lead EMEA Recruiter
    TECH
    May 2021 - November 2021 (6 months)
    Led and mentored a team of 3 sales recruiters from Dublin to Berlin
    ●I drove and agreed with the Global Head of Sales Enablement to expand our ideal candidate profile to look at non-SAAS sellers for Mid – Market Account executives given the sheer competition for talent.
    ●Hired 10 folks within 5 months within the Sales organization including 2 Regional Sales Directors for DACH, turning DACH from Red to Green from the CRO perspectives on the Quota carrying sales folks.
    ●This resulted in less spend on headhunt elsewhere globally as DACH revenues improved numbers.
    ●I was described as a Change agent: as I redesigned the interview process to be more efficient and streamlined. Adopted across EMEA as the Regional sales directors for DACH advocated internally only after 4 candidates were interviewed.
    ●I worked closely with the EMEA VP, his regional sales leaders, Head of Compensation to ensure Contentful were hiring sales folks at the right level & compensation to ensure a successful hires and longer term retention.
    ●These changes resulted in higher conversion rate of candidates through the interview process, while sufficiently reducing the time to hire from over 100 days to 30 days
