Recruitment Outsourcing

Why work with an independent recruiter?

  • You always work with the same person: no handovers between account managers and recruiters.
  • No black box: agencies often have different people communicating with clients and candidates, which can lead to context getting lost. When the candidate-facing recruiter is a junior, it can result in a poor candidate experience. And candidates don’t always distinguish between internal and external recruiters, so that experience can directly affect your employer brand.
  • Lower fees: no agency overhead.
  • More ownership: my reputation depends directly on the quality of my work.

I usually work on a success-fee basis. My fee is 12% of the candidate's annual gross salary, split into two payments: half when the candidate starts and the other half after they pass probation. I am also open to discussing a fixed success fee.

About

I’ve been in recruitment since 2012. I have worked at agencies, in-house, and as a solo freelance recruiter. Along the way, I've filled Tech, Product, C-level, Operations, Sales, Marketing, Legal, and Finance roles for companies ranging from consumer products with 100M+ users to complex SaaS. I hired people across different industries (e-commerce, fintech, b2b, gamedev) and markets, mainly in Russia, Latvia, Germany, Finland, Estonia, but occasionally in the US and LATAM.

I speak Russian and English, and I am slowly working on my Dutch 🙃
