About

I’m a certified recruitment expert with 18+ years of experience - and for the past 6 years, I’ve specialized exclusively in the Salesforce ecosystem, earning a reputation as one of Poland’s leading Salesforce recruiters. My work goes far beyond filling roles. I build long-term partnerships across the Salesforce community. I lead recruitment for Salesforce talent across Central Europe and am deeply committed to growing the ecosystem in Poland. As co-founder of the TeamCo & Friends Foundation and TeamCo Cloud, I promote learning, collaboration, and career opportunities for current and future Salesforce professionals. One of my proudest milestones is publishing the first-ever Salesforce Ecosystem Report of Poland (2025) - a data-driven publication packed with insights and trends, supporting candidates, employers, and the wider ecosystem. You can download it for free here: https://teamcoandfriends.org/en/report/ I regularly co-create, host, and speak at major Salesforce events and user groups across Poland. Whether through LinkedIn Lives, meetups, workshops, or mentoring, I stay close to the people and ideas shaping the future of the platform. My recruitment philosophy is people-first: respectful, honest, and human. I don’t spam or chase metrics. I treat every candidate the way I’d want to be treated. I build careers - not just pipelines. 🔑 Keywords & Specialties Salesforce Recruiter | Salesforce Hiring | Salesforce Talent Acquisition | Salesforce Poland | Salesforce Ecosystem | Recruitment Marketing | Employer Branding | Community Leadership | Salesforce Events | Passive Talent Strategy | TeamCo & Friends 👥 Who I Help Employers & Partners: I deliver top Salesforce talent by staying up to date with the latest products, certifications, and in-demand skills - always aligned with business needs.
