I find the top 1% of global talent—and I build the cross-border pipelines that allow international companies to scale without slowing down. As an experienced Talent Acquisition Specialist and Global Headhunter, I don't just push CVs. I partner directly with founders, startups, and executive stakeholders across the United States, Australia, and the UK to architect high-velocity offshore hiring strategies. Having navigated complex international talent ecosystems, I specialize in bridging the gap between talent, modern automation, and business growth. My core expertise spans the entire full-cycle recruitment lifecycle with a hyper-focus on next-generation tech and Go-To-Market (GTM) portfolios. Areas of Specialized Expertise: 🔹 Technical Recruitment: AI Automation Engineers, Workflow Specialists (n8n, Make, Zapier), Full Stack Developers, Data Engineers, and DevOps. 🔹 Go-To-Market & Ops: Growth Marketers, CRM Specialists, SDRs, Client Success, and Business Operations. 🔹 Global Headhunting: Sourcing across Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Indonesia, South Africa, Nigeria, and Eastern Europe. Strategic TA Frameworks & Impact: 🔹High-Velocity Scaling: Proven track record of rapidly clearing critical hiring backlogs (e.g., aggressively scaling a QA division from 30+ open requirements to under 5 in just 5 months). 🔹 Internal Tooling & Product Advisory: Provided specialized TA subject matter expertise to internal engineering teams to build and test custom, high-efficiency Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) integrated with core HRIS (Kriyo). 🔹 Modern Sourcing Methodologies: Leveraging AI-driven sourcing tools, advanced Boolean architecture, and deep passive talent mapping to find elite candidates that traditional job boards miss. I believe that modern talent acquisition isn’t just about filling seats; it’s about establishing process, clarity, and speed without losing the human element. 🚀 Currently open to new full-time opportunities, consulting roles, or strategic partnerships in Global Talent Acquisition, Technical Recruiting, and Offshore Headhunting.
