Lea D.

I’m a Senior Recruiter and Executive Assistant with 10+ years of experience supporting founders, executives, startups, and growing companies across the US, UK, Europe, and APAC. I help companies find great talent, manage the hiring process, and keep executives and teams organized. RECRUITING & TALENT ACQUISITION I can manage recruitment from sourcing to signed offer, including: • Full-cycle recruitment and talent acquisition • LinkedIn sourcing and Boolean search • Candidate sourcing and passive talent outreach • Recruiting cold calls and outbound candidate sourcing • Candidate screening and qualification • Interview coordination and evaluation • Hiring manager and stakeholder coordination • ATS and recruitment workflow management • Offer coordination and candidate closing • Recruitment pipeline management • Fractional recruiting and talent acquisition support I take a hands-on approach. I don't just post jobs and wait for applicants. I actively source, contact, qualify, and manage candidates throughout the hiring process. I've recruited for roles across Healthcare, Sales, Business Development, Marketing, Creative & Media, Technology, Social Media, Operations, Finance, and Administration. EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT SUPPORT I also provide Senior Executive Assistant and administrative support to founders, executives, and business owners. I can assist with: • Calendar and schedule management • Email and inbox management • Meeting coordination and follow-ups • Research and information gathering • Travel and administrative support • Candidate and client communication • Documentation and reporting • CRM, ATS, and business systems • Project and workflow coordination My recruiting background gives me an advantage when supporting executives and growing businesses because I'm comfortable working with candidates, clients, hiring managers, executives, and senior stakeholders. WHO I WORK WITH I work particularly well with founders, startups, remote-first companies, agencies, and lean teams that need experienced recruiting or executive support without immediately building a large internal team. Whether you need help filling one critical role, multiple positions, ongoing recruitment, or reliable executive support, I can step in and take ownership. Need a recruiter or executive assistant who can work independently and get things moving? Send me your requirements and let's talk.
