Professional Summary
Junior IT Recruiter with a strong technical background and a clear understanding of software development roles, workflows, and technical requirements. Holds a Master’s degree in Internet of Things and has hands-on experience working closely with developers, QA engineers, and technical teams in academic and project-based environments.
Combines people-oriented communication skills with technical literacy, enabling effective candidate screening, accurate role matching, and meaningful collaboration with hiring managers. Highly motivated to build a career in IT recruitment, talent acquisition, or HR by connecting skilled professionals with the right technical teams.

Technical Foundation for Recruitment
Unlike traditional non-technical recruiters, I come from a technical background that includes web development, QA, backend fundamentals, DevOps basics, and system administration awareness. This allows me to understand job descriptions beyond keywords and accurately assess candidate profiles.
I am familiar with common IT roles such as frontend and backend developers, QA engineers, DevOps specialists, system administrators, security engineers, and mobile developers. I understand how these roles interact within Agile teams and what skills are critical at junior, middle, and senior levels.
This technical foundation helps me communicate effectively with both candidates and hiring managers, ask relevant questions, and reduce mismatches in the hiring process.

Recruitment & Talent Acquisition Approach
I approach recruitment as a structured, analytical, and people-centered process. I focus on understanding business needs, team culture, and technical requirements before sourcing candidates.
I am comfortable working with full-cycle recruitment at a junior level, including vacancy analysis, candidate sourcing, CV screening, initial interviews, and coordination of technical interview stages. I value transparency, respectful communication, and long-term candidate relationships.
My QA background influences my recruitment approach by emphasizing accuracy, documentation, and continuous improvement of hiring processes.

Candidate Screening & Communication
I have strong skills in CV analysis and candidate screening, especially for junior and entry-level IT roles. I can evaluate resumes for technical relevance, learning trajectory, project experience, and potential rather than relying only on commercial experience.
I communicate clearly and professionally with candidates, explaining role expectations, interview stages, and feedback processes. I am comfortable conducting initial HR interviews, assessing motivation, communication skills, and cultural fit.
I understand the importance of employer branding and candidate experience and strive to represent the company honestly and positively at every stage.

Collaboration with Hiring Managers
I am comfortable working closely with technical leads, project managers, and team leads. I can clarify requirements, ask the right questions about tech stacks and responsibilities, and help translate technical needs into clear job descriptions.
I value feedback-driven recruitment and use interview outcomes to continuously improve sourcing and screening strategies.

Tools & Workflow Awareness
I am familiar with ATS systems, CV databases, LinkedIn sourcing, and structured recruitment pipelines. I understand how recruitment metrics such as time-to-hire, candidate quality, and pipeline conversion impact business results.
My experience with Jira, documentation tools, and Agile workflows allows me to integrate smoothly into tech-driven organizations.
