Looking for work is hard. When you're deep into the hiring process against a shrinking pool of other talented candidates, you know the value of getting an edge on your competition. The process is also complicated for people (like me) on the other side of the desk. When it comes to essential hires, picking the wrong candidate can significantly impact an organization. What's worse, the skills that make somebody a great hire are only sometimes the skills highlighted in an interview. Thankfully, I teach these skills. In my one-on-one coaching sessions, I arm job seekers with insider information to align them with employer expectations, wow interviewers, and set them above other candidates. Book time with me if you're getting to the interview stage, but other candidates keep edging you out. There's likely something recruiters and hiring managers are looking for that you aren't delivering. As an experienced recruiter, I know what it takes to align candidates with employer expectations. Let's unlock your potential together! https://yiorgos.ca/coaching

Reporting to the CEO, I was Tiny Mile's first Head of People and Talent. My role included everything to do with the employee lifecycle. With Tiny Mile, I hired 15+ full-time employees across Canada, the US, and South America. I also hired 30+ offshore contractors in the Philippines and India. I'm particularly proud of establishing a transparent compensation framework and strategy, including salary bands, pay survey information, and equity grants. This is in addition to building all our people programs from scratch.

I joined Forma.ai as the first Head of Talent after the Series A. Reporting to the CEO, I got to play a central role in driving growth and shaping culture. During my time with Forma.ai, I helped grow the company from 50 to 140+ employees, providing me with a fantastic opportunity to build recruitment programs at scale. I hired and managed a team of 1 Senior Recruiter, 3 Recruiters and 1 Recruitment Coordinator, who executed a thoughtful recruiting strategy. I strongly believe that recruiters are process managers, so I also created a Talent handbook and Talent competency matrix to measure our success.
