Über Magdalena
I support growing businesses with senior-level Talent, HR, and People Operations expertise, helping them build stronger hiring processes, improve people operations, and bring more structure to the employee lifecycle.
With 10+ years of experience across in-house, agency, and international VC-backed environments, I’ve led end-to-end recruitment, owned the full HR function, and partnered closely with founders and senior leaders on people priorities that support business growth.
I typically support projects such as:
- recruitment delivery and direct sourcing
- hiring strategy and process optimization
- onboarding and offboarding design
- performance cycle support
- HR process improvement and policy implementation
- manager support and operational HR delivery
Clients value me for being hands-on, structured, and fast to integrate — someone who can quickly understand what is needed, simplify complexity, and deliver with a high level of ownership.
