About candidate

About you
I have completed my master’s degree in human resource management and development at University of Salford and currently holding a CIPD associate membership as well.
My professional background has included responsibilities such as staff recruitment, employee onboarding, payroll, and HR operational activities such as employee life cycle management with proficiency in working with HRIS.
I relocated to the United Kingdom in 2022 with my family and have been working in HR for the past two years, consistently receiving positive feedback. With over eight years of experience in HR, including roles at internationally recognized companies, I bring extensive expertise in payroll management across multiple countries. Looking ahead, I aim to specialize in General HR and payroll and plan to pursue the CIPP qualification in 2025 to enhance my skills and career prospects.
What are you looking for in a new role?
I am seeking a more flexible HR role that aligns with my strong emphasis on maintaining a healthy work-life balance while advancing my career. Additionally, I am eager to embrace a challenging and fast-paced HR environment that will enhance my skills and broaden my professional experience, ultimately preparing me for higher-level opportunities within the HR field.
What you are interested in working with us?
With my academic-based experience in human resource management combined with my enthusiasm and dedication to achieving success, I believe I could swiftly surpass your expectations in this role.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
One of the most challenging experiences in a past role was managing a complex employee relations case involving a grievance and disciplinary process. The situation required navigating sensitive issues while ensuring fairness and compliance with employment laws and organizational policies. Coordinating multiple stakeholders, including managers, legal advisors, and the employees involved, was a significant challenge, as emotions were high, and timelines were tight.

To address this, I conducted thorough investigations, maintained clear and transparent communication, and ensured procedural consistency. By staying composed and focused on the facts, I was able to resolve the issue amicably, balancing the interests of the organization and the employee. The experience not only honed my problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills but also reinforced the importance of empathy, active listening, and adherence to HR best practices.
