Carrying out recruitments in France, Germany, Austria & the Nordics both as an in-house recruiter and a project consultant. My favourite projects were in-house ones which included process development and headhunt cases of niche talents like the Sales Manager to take care of mining clients in West Africa. 98/2 white/blue collar roles: Maintenance Engineers up to CEOs. Companies including Volvo, SSAB, Assa Abloy, Hexagon, Bona, Agria Taking care of contract negotiations & drafting, invoicing, accounting and tax reports. 🏆 2019: Rated excellent in Hiring Mangers’ satisfaction surveys when working in-house at Stora Enso. Was even offered a permanent employee contract but decided to prioritise my thesis and focus on it. 🏆 2018: After another recruitment agency failed filling a CEO role for a global player in Finland, I managed to put together a short list among which they chose the one. 🏆 2017: Headhunted hard-to-find C# & C++ developers and convinced them to relocate from Paris to smaller cities in France.
