When sourcing candidates for legal tech and compliance roles, I utilize a combination of targeted networking, leveraging professional platforms, and tapping into my existing connections in the industry.

When managing multiple recruitment processes, I prioritize tasks based on deadlines, client requirements, and the complexity of each position. Utilizing project management tools helps me stay organized and ensures that I allocate sufficient time to each recruitment cycle.
