About
Dear Hiring Manager; I am writing to express my strong interest in the Talent Acquisition and HR-related roles at your esteemed organization. With over 15 years of extensive experience in human resources and recruitment across EMEA and Turkey, I bring a global perspective and a deep understanding of talent acquisition strategies that align with business objectives. I am eager to leverage my expertise in full-cycle recruitment and HR operations to contribute to the success of your team. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with reputable global companies, where I honed my skills in talent hunting, Boolean search, B2B marketing, and lead generation. My proficiency in these areas has enabled me to identify and engage top talent across technical and non-technical roles, consistently exceeding expectations in terms of both talent acquisition and business impact. I am highly skilled in utilizing ATS systems and have managed recruitment processes that involve complex documentation, competency-based interviews, onboarding, and assessments. My ability to lead key meetings with both clients and candidates, combined with my organizational and project management expertise, ensures the smooth execution of the recruitment lifecycle. Additionally, I excel at cross-cultural communication, having collaborated with diverse teams across regions to deliver recruitment solutions that align with company objectives. In addition to my technical recruitment experience, I have worked on various non-technical HR initiatives, which have helped me develop strong interpersonal skills and the ability to navigate different organizational cultures. This holistic approach to HR has allowed me to be a strategic partner to businesses, focusing on talent attraction, retention, development, coaching, engagement, performance management, and reward. I am particularly excited about the opportunity to contribute to your organization in a remote capacity, which would allow me to bring my global experience and expertise directly to your team. I am immediately available to start and am currently pursuing further development in German (A2 level). Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background in global talent acquisition, HR strategy, and recruitment excellence can contribute to the continued success of your organization.
