I have a Master's degree in Cultural Studies from the University of Warsaw and participated in the Erasmus Programme at the University of Ljubljana, where I studied International Relations. My professional journey has led me to work in various roles in talent acquisition and human resources. Currently, I am a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist at Softeq, where I manage full-cycle recruitment for IT roles, from writing job descriptions and sourcing candidates to conducting interviews and handling salary negotiations. I also collaborate with internal teams to improve recruitment processes and optimize HR tools. Prior to this, I was an IT Talent Acquisition Specialist at Computer Resources International, recruiting for European institutions, and an International Recruiter at British American Tobacco, where I handled recruitment for various functions and levels. My experience includes working as an HR Generalist at Accenture, assisting in recruiting and managing HR processes, and as a Social Media Specialist at Fenomem, moderating client profiles and handling customer inquiries. Additionally, I served as an Administrative Assistant at the Ocalenie Foundation, providing support to refugees and immigrants. I am fluent in Polish and English, with basic proficiency in Russian, and I am skilled in using various HR and applicant tracking systems.Tech Stack
