I'm also doing Talent Acquisition audits for already established companies who might need help with reviewing their current recruitment process, and training HR/Recruitment teams on recruitment best practises, and exclusive Search Assignments for a few selected companies. With over 16 years worth of experience in Recruitment and Talent Acquisition Operations, I have picked up a few best practices that can have a profound impact on the growth of an organisation and help with scaling and setting up the Talent Acquisition function while working on Hiring, Candidate Experience, Culture, Onboarding and Employer Branding. I help businesses in an advisory or consulting capacity adopt those best practices and avoid costly mistakes. I've worked with Australian tech start-ups such as Hipages, Campaign Monitor, Bigcommerce, Sonder, Flare, Uno, etc to scale their their TA function. I can act as your Head of Talent Acquisition, Talent Acquisition Manager, Talent Acquisition Consultant, Talent Acquisition Advisor, RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing), or help out with tricky searches, etc. I can do this either remotely/on-site on a full time/part time basis to suit your needs.
