The Builder

I started where Talent Acquisition gets real: open roles, candidate flow, market pressure, hiring managers, interviews, active sourcing, job ads, and the need to fill roles without lowering the bar.

Before Cofinity-X, I managed recruiting for up to 150 roles per quarter and repeatedly built recruiting structures in RPO environments. That gave me a practical understanding of what breaks when hiring demand, process, stakeholders, and market reality are not connected.

At Cofinity-X, I moved from recruiting into building the HR function itself: structures, processes, onboarding, HR systems, benefits, governance, FTE planning, budget rhythm, and leadership routines. Today, I operate where recruiting, HR, budget, leadership, and scaling decisions meet.

This is the perspective I would bring to tonies: not only filling roles, but building the Talent Acquisition system around growth.

  1. 1

    High-volume recruiting

    Managed recruiting for up to 150 roles per quarter, working close to candidate flow, market reality, hiring pressure, and stakeholder expectations.

  2. 2

    RPO process builder

    Built and improved recruiting processes in RPO environments, including active sourcing, job ads, applicant management, interview preparation, recruiter training, and employer branding.

  3. 3

    HR from zero

    Built HR structures at Cofinity-X from scratch: HR processes, onboarding, HR systems, benefits, governance, FTE planning, budget rhythm, and leadership routines.

  4. 4

    Kosovo nearshore build

    Currently building the Kosovo nearshore center end-to-end, connecting workforce planning, cost structure, vendor coordination, legal risk, operating model, and delivery needs into a scalable setup.

My strength is not only improving an existing function. It is building the function, the rhythm, and the decision system around it.

Now playing · What Kilian would build around Talent Acquisition

The System Architect

Four pillars. Pick one to see how it works.

Pillar

Hiring demand

What I would improve

Make open and upcoming roles visible, prioritized, and connected to business impact.

First action

High-volume recruiting, personnel needs analysis, FTE planning, budget planning, and leadership alignment.

Metric

Priority roles filled on plan.

A good TA system does not make recruiting colder. It makes demand clearer, decisions faster, data cleaner, and hiring quality easier to scale.

First 60 days

Key output

A practical TA operating model for global hiring.

Actions
  • Clarify intake, sourcing rhythm, scorecards, feedback discipline, and decision ownership
  • Build a simple leadership dashboard for hiring visibility

A hiring rhythm that recruiters, hiring managers, and leaders can actually use.

Actions
  • Roll out refined hiring rituals with the TA team and hiring managers
  • Set quarterly TA priorities and measurable funnel goals

My first 90 days would not be about changing everything. They would be about understanding what already works, removing friction, and building the few structures that make global hiring stronger.
