On December 2019, I was challenged to begin a project management consultancy start-up in Porto as a Talent Acquisition Partner. MI-GSO PCUBED is a french project management consultancy which provides support to clients in the industry area. After a 3 months training in Seville and Madrid, I began my journey in Porto and I am proud to share that we'll achieve the lovely 100 number until the end of December 2021. We are also expecting to be heading South soon!My main tasks:Recruitment & Selection: Follow the full life cycle or recruitment, since direct contact with different stakeholders to get their needs; disclosure of advertisements/active search on Linkedin Recruiter (my main weapon! :)); contact with different Universities and participating in Job Fairs; leading interviews; managing hirings closer to the HR department; onboarding and integration follow-ups. Team Management: During this year, I had the opportunity to train some new recruiters for Italy and Germany and, since the number of projects in Portugal are big, we decided to hire a junior recruiter, to which I have trained and nowadays is working closer to me. Employer Branding: I'm a passionate creative writer and as I came to realise the impact that social media currently has, I began to explore the potential that more compelling ads have with the audience we're looking for. In contact with Communication & Marketing department, I can unleash my creativity and thus attract the best talent. Training: Having a background in Psychology, direct contact with people has always been something I was passionate about. Giving them the best skills to face the day-to-day life, in a world where soft skills are so valued (and rightly so!), this is another field of work. And, as they say: Sky is the limit!
