Annum K.

I'm an experienced recruiter with over a decade of success in full-cycle recruitment across high-volume, niche, technical, and non-technical roles. With an undergraduate degree from McMaster University and a postgraduate diploma in Human Resources Management from Sheridan College, I've built my career partnering with innovative startups and established organizations to secure top-tier talent.

I specialize in sourcing and placing candidates across Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Data Engineering, Software Development, and UI/UX Design. My approach combines data-driven insights, market research, and creative sourcing strategies to deliver high-quality, diverse candidates tailored to the unique needs of each business.

Throughout my career, I've reduced time-to-hire by 20% through process optimization, achieved 90%+ first-year retention rates for placed candidates, and successfully filled 100+ technical and leadership roles annually - including SDEs, TPMs, Product Managers, Applied Scientists, and more. I'm proficient in LinkedIn Recruiter, Greenhouse, HackerRank, Hiretual, Seekout, Entelo, GitHub, and various job boards, leveraging these tools to enhance recruitment strategies and outcomes.

I'm passionate about inclusive hiring and committed to building diverse talent pipelines. I've mentored junior recruiters, led initiatives to align recruitment with organizational strategy, and actively collaborated on employer branding and candidate experience projects. I continuously pursue learning opportunities to stay ahead of industry trends and enjoy giving back by mentoring and supporting educational programs for underrepresented communities in tech.

Let's connect - I'm always open to conversations about talent acquisition, employer branding, inclusive hiring, or career opportunities.
