Talent Acquisition Business Partner

Basel, Basel, Switzerland

About

I’m an experienced Talent Acquisition professional with a strong track record in international recruiting, primarily across Life Sciences, Pharma, and Engineering sectors. Over the past several years, I’ve worked with global leaders like Thermo Fisher Scientific and Novartis, supporting teams across Switzerland, Germany, the UK, Benelux, and Southern Europe. I specialise in both internal and external recruitment, from sourcing hard to find candidates to managing end to be end hiring processes, negotiating offers, and ensuring full compliance. I’ve worked across permanent and contract hiring, using tools such as Workday, Phenom, LinkedIn Recruiter, and Textio. What sets me apart is my calm, positive approach, strong listening skills, and ability to build trust quickly, whether I’m partnering with hiring managers, candidates, or HR teams. I thrive in fast-paced, international environments and always aim to deliver a smooth and respectful experience for everyone involved. Originally from the UK, I’m based in Switzerland and hold both UK and Irish citizenship as well as a Swiss C Permit. I speak English fluently and German at B2 level. I’m always open to meaningful connections in Talent Acquisition, particularly within people-first organisations where I can bring value and keep learning. Let’s connect!
