Talent Acquisition Specialist

About

I am a Talent Acquisition Specialist with proven success in global sourcing and end-to-end recruitment across industries including construction, property management, technology, and startups. Over the past 5 years, I’ve helped organizations scale by hiring top talent — from closing 70+ hires in fast-paced project cycles to building recruitment pipelines that attract hard-to-find specialists across Kenya, Europe, and the Middle East. My expertise includes headhunting, employer branding, candidate experience, and HR consulting, ensuring not only the right hires but also long-term retention and cultural fit. Having worked with both local companies and international clients, I understand how to bridge talent needs across borders. Passionate about connecting people with opportunities, I also support job seekers through career coaching and interview preparation, while partnering with entrepreneurs to design recruitment systems that scale with growth. I’m open to collaborations, consulting, and global opportunities in recruitment and HR. If you’re building a team and need a partner who combines strategy with execution, let’s connect.
