Bio
James Hou
I had the pleasure of working with Ilayda at Udemy, during which time she was responsible for recruiting key hires for our team in Istanbul, Turkey. She was incredibly dedicated to our mission and worked diligently to source/screen over hundreds of candidates for us. Through her efforts, we were able to build and expand our team overseas. In addition to her recruiting efforts, Ilayda went above and beyond and helped build our "data" hiring brand in Turkey by hosting multiple data virtual meetup events. Ilayda is an experienced technical recruiting partner and would make a positive impact at any organization.

Ilayda reported directly to me during her time at Udemy and was my first hire in the Ankara office. During that time she grew from having little tech talent acquisition experience to hiring very senior engineers over a 12 month period. Ilayda is also very creative and ran many in and out of office events for prospective candidates.
