I’m a career coach and HR professional with a degree in Human Resources and over 14 years of experience in recruitment, supporting people across a wide range of industries.

I’ve worked closely with Renata for many years and have seen first-hand the impact she has on both our team and the senior professionals she supports across Europe.

For many years, Renata was the key person responsible for hiring for SmartHire’s core recruitment team. She didn’t just hire people. She trained them, supported them, and helped them grow into senior recruiters inside our company. Her influence is still visible in how our team works today.

At the same time, she delivered excellent hiring results for our most important tech and business clients across Europe. She helped them grow by finding the right senior people for critical roles. Many candidates she supported in the past later became hiring managers and clients themselves because they trusted her and remembered the help she gave them in their own careers.

What really makes Renata different is how deeply she cares about the people she works with. She takes time to understand their goals, motivations, struggles, and career plans before talking about any job. She helps with difficult career decisions, career changes, and moments when people feel stuck. She prepares candidates for interviews in a very detailed way, especially around the hard parts such as explaining gaps, changes, leadership situations, technical challenges, or personal doubts with confidence and clarity.

Over the years, I’ve received many messages from senior professionals thanking her for helping them get roles that changed their careers. People often come back to her years later when they are ready for their next step. She also receives many referrals simply because people trust her judgement.

Renata has wide knowledge of different industries, technology trends, hiring trends, and modern career paths. When needed, she does her own research to fully understand a person’s background or a company’s needs. She looks at the person first. What drives them, what they want, and where they can truly succeed.

She builds real relationships. She meets candidates in person when traveling for clients or conferences and keeps in touch long after placements are made.

Above all, Renata truly cares about people and their success. That is something you cannot train, and it’s what makes her exceptional.
