Recruitment Lead – OperationsIn 2014, I started my career in Human Resources, which now feels like a lifetime ago! While initially part of a generalist HR team, my heart gravitated towards recruitment, igniting a deep passion for talent acquisition. Engaging with individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures has been incredibly fulfilling, and nurturing relationships while aiding them in securing their next career step is truly rewarding.
I joined Wazoku in 2022 as a Recruitment Coordinator and was promoted to Recruitment Lead within my first year here. I am responsible for leading and managing the company's global recruitment process where my approach is centered around creating a seamless and enjoyable experience for both candidates and hiring managers.
I work closely with hiring managers across various departments to understand their needs and requirements, and tailor the recruitment process accordingly. Beyond talent acquisition, I am passionate about elevating our employee branding across various channels. This commitment stems from my belief that attracting top-tier talent is not just about filling roles; it's about showcasing our vibrant culture and opportunities.
During my free time, I'm typically balancing the joys of motherhood raising my energetic children. Whether we're at the park, exploring soft play areas, or getting crafty, it's all part of what I like to call "fun chaos"! And on those rare occasions when I have a moment to myself, you'll likely find me immersed in a good book. Surprisingly, in 2023, I managed to devour nearly 60 books – perhaps I have more spare time than I realize!
