Why Andrea

I help growing teams make hiring clearer, more structured, and more effective.

I've spent the past six years working across full-cycle talent acquisition, high-volume recruitment, and offshore hiring. Along the way, I've learned that good hiring isn't just about finding someone who can do the job. It starts with understanding what the business actually needs, building the right hiring approach, and creating a process that works for both the company and the people they're looking to hire.

Who I Work Best With

“Startups, lean teams, and growing companies that need a recruiter who thinks beyond the job description.”

Hiring Diagnostics

Before I recruit, I diagnose. Not every hiring problem starts with sourcing.

I call this a Workforce Intervention: a hiring risk review before sourcing begins.

“We're getting applicants, but nobody qualified.”

I look at the sourcing channel, market availability, role definition/positioning and screening criteria.

“We're interviewing candidates but not closing them.”

I examine whether the hiring criteria, compensation and candidate evaluation process are actually aligned.

“Recruiters are busy but requisitions aren't moving.”

I look for workflow, prioritization, capacity or hiring-manager bottlenecks.

“We suddenly need 20+ hires.”

I assess whether the existing pipeline and recruiting capacity can realistically support the required volume.

“We want to build an offshore team.”

I look at talent availability, sourcing channels and practical recruitment execution.

“Our hiring managers keep rejecting candidates.”

I help clarify what the team actually needs before continuing to push candidates through the funnel.
