Recruiter at Optiver

About

Hello 👋🏼 Welcome to my profile! I was born and raised in Athens, Greece, and in 2015 I moved to Washington, DC, to attend Georgetown University, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2019. Shortly after, I moved to Amsterdam to pursue opportunities in Technical Recruitment. I began my career at Talent.io in January 2020 as a Talent Advocate Intern and Tech Talent Sourcer. After completing two internships, I transitioned into a full-time Talent Advocate role, focusing on helping tech professionals find their ideal roles. In April 2021, I joined Sendcloud as a Talent Acquisition Specialist, working closely with departments such as Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to meet their hiring goals. In May 2023, I joined Optiver as a Recruiter, where I focus on hiring for our Business Operations and Control departments, helping support the firm’s growth and operational excellence.
