About Nicoleta Popa

I am a versatile HR Specialist with over 5 years of experience in full-cycle recruitment, having strategically expanded my role to integrate Training & Development (T&D) and Performance Management.* Talent Acquisition: I have successfully led diverse recruiting strategies, managing the full-cycle process for a wide range of roles—from blue-collar positions to executive roles (e.g, Technical, Commercial, Construction Directors, Project Manager, Software Developers, Design Engineers, Buyers, Business Developers) and highly-skilled technical trainers. My experience spans both large-scale corporate environments (Continental) and agile, technical/startup settings (Wiren, IT School).* Strategic Expansion into Talent Development: My career has evolved to focus on talent retention and growth. For the past 1 year and 5 months, I have designed and implemented performance evaluation frameworks and KPI processes. My role in T&D involves identifying learning needs with managers, managing external training vendors, and overseeing the organization of internal workshops/training, training calendar, and budget.* Core Strengths: I excel at defining role needs with department heads/CEOs and managing talent initiatives with focus and clarity. Core skills include Technical Recruiting, Talent Management, and leveraging a Design Thinking approach to solve talent challenges.
