Position: Recruitment Team Leader
Category: Recruiter
Experience: 9 years | English: upper

My values: 
—“Get the things done” approach to work. Quality is my priority in every part of my life. Analytics is the best ground for any decision.
—Learning as a vital need. 
—People are the most valuable part of every organization (but I don’t choose to work with assholes!). Communication for me is key. —All candidates, founders, domain leaders are, foremost, human beings, not their titles. 
—Social responsibility and volunteering are not just beautiful words for me, because sharing is caring.
—Any ambitious goal doesn't justify all methods.
Mature Recruitment Team Leader with more than 9 years of experience in technical recruitment in Ukraine, USA, and EU, 5 years experience as a lecturer, 4 years experience as a consultant and mentor, and 3 years experience as an author of professional articles (sharing is caring!).
Long story short, I'm a technical geek, a passionate teacher, a person with a strong analytical mind who started to take first steps as a people manager in 2018 and became a Recruitment Team Leader in 2021. 

My expertise overview:
—I worked in all business models (outsourcing, outstaffing, start-up, recruitment agency), and collaborated closely with C-level and companies' founders with ambitious hiring goals and OKRs as a result. I have an HR background and a master degree in HRM.
—I managed to fill the most difficult roles (Security Testes, Director of Engineering, etc.) in ~2 months. I scaled 2 previous teams twice in 2- and 3-years period. 
—I have a solid background in the building processes from scratch: hiring process, hiring culture, education for the hiring team (including technical interviewers), recruitment metrics list and guide, employer brand (without a budget!), and adjusting everything to the business needs (took part in strategic sessions with C-level as well).
—I have outstanding experience in hiring & mentoring great recruiters.
—I have knowledge about culture differences: I worked in a US company for 3 years and I have been working with candidates worldwide for ~6 months.
—I know how to build connections with the technical audience and can tell about architecture & infrastructure of technical products for which I hired a lot. I can go deep into the new market, culture, technologies in days (it's like a muscle, and I've already trained mine!). 

My experience:
2022 - present, Recruitment Team Leader in a Ukrainian recruitment agency 
2018 - 2021, Recruiter in the US insurance start-up (I was fully responsible for the hiring in Ukraine)
2016 - 2018, Lead Recruiter in Lviv outsourcing company that worked with Big Data and medical domain
2014 - 2018, HR Generalist in the coolest design studio in Lviv
—I'm not ready to collaborate with companies that have at least some connection to russia & belarus (even a small one!)
Сhanges, projects, big goals! I’m interested in new areas, tasks, responsibilities, challenges, not “just work based on job description”.
—Product company with values and culture not based on real everyday actions, not beautiful words. 
—Healthy culture for me is about trust, absence of micromanagement, orienting on a results, not on an amount of hours, team’s involvement in a business success, hiring as a team goal, politic of “opened doors” by C-level, existing of right to make a mistake, leadership based on a common sense. 
—I've been working in a 4-days format week for ~1 year and I liked it a lot!
—I’ve started to work in a hybrid format (remote for ~2-3 days per week) in 2018, and I miss offline collaboration a lot. So I’ll prefer remote work with visiting an office (Lviv or Ivano-Frankivsk) for a few days in a month.
