I help organizations scale their teams by building recruitment strategies that reduce costs, accelerate hiring, and improve retention. With 15 years of experience in Talent Acquisition, I’ve led transformations for high-growth companies and start-ups — often stepping in as interim TA leadership to stabilize and optimize recruiting during critical growth periods. What I Deliver: Faster hiring cycles: Reduced time-to-fill from 100+ days to 60 days for a life sciences recruitment team. Cost savings: Cut agency spend by over $1M through smarter sourcing and process design. System efficiency: Expert in ATS setup, rollout, and optimization (iCIMS, Greenhouse). Retention gains: Improved retention from below 50% to 80%+ for high-volume hiring. Executive visibility: Designed recruitment metrics and dashboards for C-suite and board reporting. How I Can Help You on Upwork: Build or refine your recruitment process to scale quickly. Provide interim Talent Acquisition leadership during growth, M&A, or turnover. Optimize your ATS or implement a new one for maximum efficiency. Develop clear, metrics-driven hiring reports for executives and investors. Why Clients Work With Me: I don’t just “fill roles.” I design and manage recruiting as a business function — structured, data-driven, and tied directly to growth outcomes.
