As a freelance trainer and Talent Acquisition expert, I support companies in attracting, onboarding, developing, and retaining employees professionally.

My focus is on ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด & ๐—ช๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜€ in communication, leadership, onboarding, and knowledge transfer, as well as on ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—บ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด including active sourcing and candidate experience.

I combine many years of experience in sales, recruiting, team leadership, and process optimization (HR and sales) with a clear, hands-on approach. Companies benefit from trainings that provide concrete tools and recruiting processes that are fast, transparent, and efficient. The goal is always to strengthen collaboration, preserve knowledge, and make informed decisions.

In addition to training and talent acquisition, I optimize HR processes along the employee lifecycle โ€“ from talent acquisition and onboarding through role clarification, induction, knowledge transfer, and handovers to offboarding and knowledge retention. I emphasize clear responsibilities, structured workflows, and communication at eye level.

My work is aimed at companies that want to professionalize their recruiting processes, empower leaders and employees, or sustainably improve knowledge transfer and collaboration.

Key focus areas:

  • Training & Workshops (communication, leadership, onboarding, knowledge transfer, offboarding)
  • Operational recruiting & active sourcing
  • Candidate experience
  • HR process optimization along the employee lifecycle
  • Knowledge transfer, handovers & role clarification
  • Workshop design & moderation

I look forward to connecting with companies that want to strengthen training, talent acquisition, or HR processes โ€“ as well as with educational providers looking for hands-on training formats.
