Summary

I am a Lead Talent Acquisition at Netcracker Technology, a global leader in software solutions for the telecom industry. With over 11 years of expertise in full-cycle recruitment, I specialize in partnering with senior leaders and hiring managers to deeply understand business needs, sourcing, and engaging high-caliber candidates across domains.

I have a strong interest in leveraging AI prompting, discovering new ideas, and hacks to streamline processes, reduce turnaround time (TAT), and improve the quality of talent supply. I actively utilize various recruitment tools and technologies to drive innovation, efficiency, and better hiring outcomes.
