IT specialist recruitment
I run processes from analysing your needs, through actively reaching candidates, to support in final interviews and negotiations.
I run IT recruitment, help companies screen candidates and show job seekers what recruitment looks like from the other side.
I run recruitment for specialist and managerial roles, or take over CV screening when there are more applications than your team can review.
See how I work with companiesI show recruitment from the other side: what a recruiter sees in your CV, how the process works and what companies really care about.
See how I support candidatesI run recruitment for specialist and managerial roles and support companies with candidate screening. I combine knowledge of the IT market with hands-on recruitment experience.
I run processes from analysing your needs, through actively reaching candidates, to support in final interviews and negotiations.
I take over the first stage of recruitment: I review CVs, select the candidates who meet the requirements and, if you need it, run the first interviews.
I have worked with software houses, product companies, startups and larger organisations.
I have run processes from junior roles to highly specialised technical and managerial positions. I combine market knowledge, active sourcing and thorough candidate verification.
I also work with candidates regularly, which gives me a view from both sides of the process and a real understanding of their expectations.
* based on processes run by LET'S Hire in the stated period.
For years I have been reading CVs, running interviews and talking to hiring managers. I use that same knowledge working with people who want to find a new job and need a recruiter's straight perspective.
I don't teach how to „game the ATS” or how to prepare perfect answers to every question. I help you understand what recruitment really looks like and how to use your own experience in the process.
For people who don't need another list of tips, but want to go through preparing for a job search together with me.
We work on your strategy, CV, LinkedIn, interview preparation and the way you present your experience.

I started in recruitment and over the following years worked with software houses, product companies, startups and larger organisations. I have run processes for a wide range of IT roles and spoken with hundreds of candidates and hiring managers.
Today I combine two perspectives. I still actively recruit for companies, and at the same time I work directly with people looking for work.
That lets me show candidates how their CV and their answers look from the perspective of the person on the other side of the process. And it lets me help companies not only find candidates, but above all assess them well.
I share what I know about IT recruitment, the job market and job searching at events, in workshops and on podcasts, as well as about effective personal branding.
I can prepare a talk or a workshop for a company, a community or an industry event. I'm also happy to take part in podcasts and expert conversations.
Let's talk about working together
„A great feel for the client's needs, a steady flow of strong candidates, responsiveness and support at every step.”
„A very accurate understanding of our organisational culture and our specific recruitment needs.”
„Hi Kaja, I'd like to thank you for working with me. Two things in particular helped me. The first was the strategy – a plan of action, which made me feel I had everything under control. The second was your support, your understanding, a kind word. In a long process it's easy to get lost and start doubting, and with a good plan it's easier to keep going. Thank you.”
„I highly recommend Kaja! She does a great job. Her webinars and products are genuinely worth it. Her knowledge, her support and the way she treats people are remarkable. Plenty of helpful tools. I found this profile during a very difficult time in my life and it really helped me get my job search together, and lifted my spirits that I would manage after all. People like this are hard to find. I recommend her wholeheartedly!”
I write about what I see every day as an IT recruiter: CVs, LinkedIn, interviews, market shifts and job searching.
No recycled myths or one-size-fits-all advice. From someone who still actively runs recruitment processes.
