Recruit Better Community 

Recruit Better is the Meetup for the Portuguese recruiters' community.

The Recruitment scene in Portugal was always closed, dark and with little to no room for sharing.

The Recruit Better Community wants to revolutionize the way recruiters look into Recruitment, by creating a space where recruiters feel free and empowered to share their stories, experiences, best practices, trends, hacks, approaches and strategies with peers.

Associate

I always dreamt about having my own business and having 100% freedom to be where I wanted to be.

However, I always struggled to make that step. Working as a full-time employee, gave me enough challenges, money and happiness for more than 10 years of my life.

But not anymore. So in 2022 I decided to open Hiire - my first real business - focusing on helping companies to hire better and faster every single day without forgetting an amazing candidate experience. 100% digital because I will be travelling the world while I'm expanding Hiire and helping international companies.

Before, I worked for companies like Jason Associates, Feedzai, Mercedes-Benz.io, Adyen and Trengo. Hired +500 IT professionals (from Software Engineers to CTOs), created Employer Branding projects from zero and coached recruitment teams to help them go to their next level in Portugal, Germany, Netherlands and Singapore.

Since 2020 I'm actively helping great professionals find better jobs and different career paths with personalised coaching programs. That's part of Talent Booster - where I share content regarding careers, not only here on LinkedIn but also on Instagram and Tik Tok.

When I was 22 years old, I acquire my first stock, Apple and never stop investing ever since!
I'm currently investing and advising Network Me, a great start-up helping to close the gap between companies and students.

Are you looking to improve your Hiring strategy or Recruitment team? Send me and DM and let's chat!

Our aim is to change the future of recruitment. 

We worked with great clients so far:
