I successfully transformed the recruitment function from an agency-based model to a predominantly direct hire strategy, increasing direct hiring from 10% to 80%. I managed the end-to-end recruitment process for technical and sales positions across the UK, Germany, and Australia, proactively sourcing candidates and building a talent pipeline that resulted in 27 hires in 12 months, a 45% increase from the previous year. I worked closely with the development team to enhance the interview process, improve job advertisements, and provide detailed candidate information, culminating in higher application numbers, reduced time to hire, and improved candidate experience and acceptance rates.
