About Julia

Over 18 years of progressive recruiting experience with a strong focus on passive candidate generation, long-cycle engagement, and closing strategies. Extensive background in international executive search across the US, Europe, CIS, and the Middle East, including complex mandates in technology, industrial, and consumer sectors.
Proven capability in high-complexity searches: narrow and non-obvious talent pools, newly created or ambiguous roles, strict language and cultural constraints, and misaligned stakeholder expectations. Strong analytical approach, including market mapping.
Hands-on expertise in direct sourcing using advanced Boolean search methodologies. Experienced in competence-based interviewing and leadership capability assessment, with a consistent focus on meta-skills such as strategic thinking, problem-solving, and learning agility rather than formal checklists.
10+ years of people management experience (teams up to 5 FTE). Demonstrated ability to implement, standardize, and automate recruitment processes and ATS workflows. Comfortable operating in complex international environments and working effectively across diverse cultures and geographies.
