Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOla Shabtai is a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist with nine years of experience building thoughtful, candidate-first hiring processes across tech and GTM roles in EMEA and North America. Known for combining data-informed sourcing with a genuinely human touch, she has led DE&I initiatives, launched interview skills workshops, and standardized recruitment policies to boost engagement and referrals. Comfortable with ATS tools like Workday and Comeet and an early adopter of AI-powered workflows, Ola partners closely with hiring managers to align talent to culture, not just checkboxes. She’s hired for startups and scale-ups alike, from sourcing first employees to supporting global hiring programs, and treats candidate relationships as long-term pipelines rather than one-off transactions. Colleagues describe her as energetic, creative (self-styled “Sourceress Supreme”), and reliable—someone who keeps conversations moving so no candidate is left wondering where they stand. Based in Israel with a background in Behavioral Sciences, she brings empathy and behavioral insight to technical recruitment decisions.
