About Samantha

I help companies grow by building strong teams and improving how they hire.

With 9+ years of experience in Talent Acquisition, I’ve worked with fast-growing and international teams to scale hiring across business, operations, and growth roles. I don’t just fill positions, I partner with founders and hiring managers to understand what the business really needs and translate that into effective hiring decisions.

I typically support end-to-end hiring processes, from defining role requirements and building pipelines to interviewing and closing candidates. I also work on improving hiring processes, helping teams bring more structure, better workflows, and clearer evaluation frameworks as they scale.

Some of the projects I usually take on include:
– Full-cycle recruitment for key roles
– Building and managing talent pipelines
– Designing and improving hiring processes
– Supporting interview structure and decision-making
– Advising on hiring strategy during growth phases

I bring a proactive, hands-on approach, with a strong focus on quality, speed, and long-term fit. I enjoy working with startups and scaling companies where hiring plays a critical role in growth and where I can contribute both operationally and strategically.
