I joined DataForce in October of 2020, during the pandemic. DataForce was looking for someone to manage the European recruitment sector. I became the first recruiter for DataForce on European soil. Prior to this all of the recruiting was being done from the United States. The recruitment sector was growing quickly. After a few months, I was promoted to team lead, which is the role that I have currently.
As a team lead, my main role is to develop relevant and adaptable strategies to coordinate, lead and monitor the projects’ recruitment team. I need to be able to understand the interdependencies between technology, operations, and business needs. Furthermore, it is expected of me to be able to promptly resolve issues. As well as be able to work across teams. Our team specificity is that we work with high volumes and fast-paced requests in multiple countries.
Working in the AI area, we have to adapt quickly when adjusting the requirements; we have to be fast but also be able to keep in mind the long-term objective. It’s kind of a marathon but with a lot of sprints.
