I connect the right people and resources in order to get meaningful organizational projects to completion. In my day to day, I design, plan and implement people focused projects that support employees do their best work. I collaborate with key stakeholders, make room for different perspectives to be voiced and gain internal sponsorship to drive these initiatives. I dedicate time to map out thoughtful and thorough plans and follow through, while getting people excited about what we’re bringing forth. I am moved whenever I see things come together, from an idea to a coherent initiative. Budgeting and assessing impact complement my resource management skills and I take each experience as an opportunity to learn, grow and take my work to the next level.

I enjoy working in environments where I get to practice my agility and flexibility muscles. This role was shaped as a result of the pandemic and gave me the opportunity to hone in on my organizational skills and build impactful initiatives by listening to employee and peer feedback. Through thorough research, cross-functional collaboration and open conversations, I project managed initiatives that had an impact across teams and locations. My dedication and attention to detail came in hand as I built remote learning moments, monitored talent branding spend and launched the first iteration of a mentorship program. You can find me in my element when I work with little supervision and when I get to see the results of collective work. Project highlights: Interviewer training (e-learning: technical and non-technical). Pilot Mentorship Programme. Buddy Programme. Talent Branding Spend. Vendor management and renewals. Team training on systems, tools and processes. Recruitment reporting.

At the core of my work is a passion for people and project management. In this role I led the global recruitment operations team across San Francisco and Dublin. Being a remote manager for my North America team (six employees) I quickly had to adapt my communication and collaboration style to suit the context. I took feedback onboard and offered the support my team needed while empowering them to take ownership of their role. I coached and trained my team with a focus on creating a safe and united environment. The team constantly delivered excellent work, achieving really high satisfaction scores from candidates and stakeholders alike. As a lead, I also stepped in when needed to help the team with daily tasks, acted as a point of contact for escalations, managed contracts renewals and negotiations and created resources to help the wider team with communication and organization of resources.

I prioritize people’s experience whether it’s candidates, peers or senior leaders. As part of my role, I continued to smoothly and efficiently schedule candidate interviews across EMEA and APAC. Having a desire to grow and learn more, I proactively identified areas of improvement and offered solutions which led to being assigned new responsibilities. Some of these included looking at the new employees’ journey and adding touch points to enhance their onboarding experience at the company (like a buddy program and 90 days onboarding plans). Other responsibilities involved creating new and engaging content to train interviewers so they offer candidates the best possible interview experience. Being no stranger to event management, I also organized six educational events with local universities in Dublin to bridge the gap between studying and working in the advertising industry. My work was recognized by the company and I received the Executional Excellence award in Dublin and the global People and Places award.

I value details and seeing the big picture moment by moment. In my day to day I coordinated interviewer and candidate calendars to schedule interviews throughout their interview process. My collaborators were five recruiters, numerous interviewers and hiring managers in EMEA and APAC. I put down fires, managed last minute requests and urgent reschedules to ensure everyone had a smooth interview experience. I also looked at how else I can contribute to the local team and I initiated BOOST sessions, a skill sharing programme in Dublin that ran for one year and a half. I also jumped right in at the invitation of creating the first interviewer skills training together with my colleague from the learning and development team. Together, we created the compamy’s first training and trained 60+ employees across Dublin and London. As a sign of recognition, I received the Golden Hammer Dublin award twice in 2017.

Dublin, Ireland

I joined the paperwork team to help them clear an important backlog. By taking responsibility for the main activities and beyond, my initial contract was extended. During my time here, I used my communication skills to manage escalations and respond to queries from international offices. I also worked with databases and numerical data and kept accurate records. My experience involved working with pivot tables and charge memos and auditing my colleague’s work. I also trained new team members in the team’s tools and processes.

Bucharest, Romania

During my time as a freelancer I acquired many of the skills I still use in my current roles. I collaborated and communicated with a diverse range of clients to organize conferences, product launches and international workshops. As an event manager, I researched and contracted venues, acted as a point of contact between speakers/teachers/trainers and participants, coordinated ticket sales and communication and supervised volunteers. Wearing many hats, I also looked after PR & Social Media activities by creating and implementing communication plans, closing strategic partnerships with companies, local media and communities and facilitated media appearances at radios and in online/paper publications. In 2014 I moved to Dublin and used my event management and PR skills to contribute to the growth of a local start-up in education.

Bucharest, Romania

In this contractor role I put my coordination skills to practice. I worked closely with 20 high-school leaders and offered support and guidance through weekly phone calls and emails. I helped them set up film clubs in their high-schools and gathered activity reports after movie screenings. I also accompanied two groups of high-school teenagers as their supervisor as part of student exchange trips to Poland and Czech Republic.

Bucharest, Romania

I managed the development and growth of the first online platform that shared positive news about Romania: Good World (www.lumebuna.ro). During my time there, the platform became a landmark for positive news in Romania and saw increased interest from individuals, companies and NGOs looking to partner with us.Finding myself in such a dynamic environment, I discovered my rhythm and navigated successfully all the challenges of the role. As a project manager, I created the organisation’s strategy, set goals and team responsibilities. In between, I organized two conferences with over 150 people. As a team manager, I managed and coached a team of 15 volunteers and oversaw events organized by team members. I also got exposure to the HR side of things and created job descriptions, recruited team members and led their onboarding training. Other responsibilities involved closing numerous partnerships with local communities, companies and media outlets and being an interim social media specialist. I took all this onboard while studying for my bachelor’s degree in Communication and PR.
