Recruitment & Talent Manager

I’m an experienced Remote Talent and Recruitment Manager with a strong track record of building, optimising, and managing recruitment functions for international and remote-first teams. Beyond sourcing and placing talent, I specialise in complete recruitment system builds, from early conceptualisation through to delivery of a fully working, tested, and scalable recruitment operation. This includes designing end-to-end hiring workflows, selecting and configuring ATS and CRM systems, building SOPs, and creating clear project plans so every step of the process is documented, repeatable, and easy to maintain. My systems are optimised for efficiency and clarity, automated where appropriate or kept manual where human judgment matters, and designed to scale. When maintained internally, these systems significantly reduce onboarding and training time for new team members. On the recruitment side, I bring hands-on expertise in sourcing, screening, and placing high-quality candidates across diverse industries. I work closely with clients to understand both immediate hiring needs and long-term growth goals, ensuring a strong candidate experience while maintaining compliance with data privacy and ethical hiring standards. I also have experience training and upskilling internal recruitment teams. This includes onboarding new recruiters, improving interview quality, strengthening candidate assessment, and helping teams understand and effectively use the systems and processes in place. The goal is not just implementation, but capability transfer so teams can operate confidently and independently. My background in mental health counselling (yes, it matters a lot in recruitment) adds depth to my approach, particularly in candidate assessment, stakeholder communication, and building people-centred processes that actually work in real teams. Clients typically bring me in to build or rebuild recruitment functions, fix inefficient or unclear hiring processes, introduce structure where there is chaos, and leave behind systems and documentation their teams can realistically maintain. If you are looking for someone who can build or fix your recruitment system, not just run it, I’m happy to help.
