I’ve spent over a decade recruiting in some of the toughest markets in the world—London, Dublin, Berlin, Bucharest—building teams for startups, scale-ups, and global companies. Along the way, I saw a pattern: hiring slows companies down more than it should.

So I built something that changes that.

At BrainSource.Network, we run a real-time recruitment platform powered by 1000+ expert recruiters across Europe and beyond. Instead of relying on one agency with limited bandwidth, companies activate multiple niche recruiters per role—often 5, 20, or more. That means CVs in 24–72 hours, not weeks. Roles filled in days, not months.

This isn’t just about speed. It’s about structure, precision, and giving you visibility over the entire process. We’ve helped clients hire fast enough to win funding, avoid project delays, and hit aggressive growth targets without compromising quality.

I grew up in Satu Mare, a small Transylvanian town at the border with Ukraine and Hungary. Built my career in Bucharest, Dublin, and London, and returned to Cluj, Romania in 2020 with a new mindset and a better way to do recruitment. If you’re expanding into new markets or struggling with bottlenecks, we should talk.
