I'm Alicia Parra

Alicia is a great Talent Acquisition Partner. The strongest muscle behind her success is her amazing communication and research skills. She is always ready to take more, and always supports the business with full ownership. She orchestrates the candidate’s journey experience and business strategy in the best manner. Proactive, digital, agile and nimble. If Alicia is on the board, be ready for a track record 😉

I had the pleasure to have Alicia on my team as a Talent Acquisition expert for the EMEA. While many spend to highlight the obvious attributes the position requires and the high achievement Alicia delivers, I would like to focus on her amazing abilities to go beyond the requirements of hiring and into the essence and core needs of the business to meet expectations. What makes Alicia truly amazing, in addition to her technical excellency, is her ability to delve deep into a problem to find a solution. More even, going beyond to offer unique and out of the box thinking most of the time where common approaches failed. She takes little time to assess and shifts in the new changed status quickly with ease, gracefully and humbly. Alicia is a strong Business Partner from a Talent Acquisition perspective and she has an amazing tenacity to deliver successfully every time no matter the challenge.

I have been working with Alicia for the past two years, working very close in different recruitment processes and global Talent Acquisition/Employer Branding projects. Alicia is unbelievable eagerness to learn and willing to take on any challenge as she feels continuously ready to overcome herself. She is, without a doubt, one of the most tenacious, and resilient Talent Aquisition Partner I have met in many years. She is an incredibly quick learner and easily adaptable to changes. She takes time to research and advise every single internal client demand, providing excellent attention to detail and a high level of market knowledge. Alicia also provides a high communication level with different stakeholders which makes agile, easy and efficient all recruitment process. On top of that, her outstanding eye for talents, emotional intelligence, energy and happiness make her a unique professional and colleague everyone would wish to work with! Alicia is a priceless asset to any company!

As a Tech Talent Acquisition and People Ops expert, Alicia is extremely rare. Even at a small startup without the financial or infrastructural resources to compete with larger, more established companies, Alicia has managed to identify and attract the best and the brightest, aligning the wants, needs, and values of our organization with those of each prospect. Her understanding of the technical landscape around our continuously iterating product has been second-to-none, and her ability to thoroughly vet and filter out the top candidates made the hiring process vastly more efficient. Alicia spoonfed our small marketing team an amazing array of freelance writers and advocates, and has always gone the extra mile to satisfy the gaps we need to fill, the skillsets we require, and our budgetary constraints. She's also an incredible yoga practitioner, humble world traveler, and social butterfly who is REALLY fun to work with. I highly recommend Alicia to any technical org that wants to efficiently recruit and retain the best talent!

Alicia thank you for being an absolute talent acquisition professional, it was a pleasure to work with you and your ability to understand the department, our needs, the required fit and character of the candidate made the hiring process so smooth and a real pleasure. It's so important that a company makes the right first impression to a candidate, showing an understanding of their role and building confidence in the company. Wishing you all the success you fully deserve in the future.

Words cannot describe Alicia's work ethics, enthusiasm, specialisation and dedication. I worked with Alicia for almost 1 year at Invicti Security, and I must say, she's the best TA I have ever worked with! By all means, she has attention to detail, and the right experience to hire the best talent on a global scale. Wherever she is, she will definitely make magic!

Alicia is a commensurate professional. A dedicated and committed individual who has a tireless work ethic. In my opinion is one of the very best recruiters out there, makes a person feel valued and shows a great deal of empathy. Her attention to detail is outstanding and is able to deliver her point in a polite decisive manner. Has excellent knowledge in her subject matter and undertakes through research on all clients. One of her best assets is the ability to make a strong bond and build a deep relationship with everyone. She is an invaluable contributor, respected and highly regarded. In a word a truly wonderful person.

Alicia is by far the most knowledgeable and dedicated in-house recruiter I've known. I've worked with her for more than two years, where she tailored the process of recruiting backend developers to our very needs, shaping each stage of the way to improve the candidate experience, making the evaluation process fair and objective, minimising lead time for hiring, and setting up guidelines so that any technical person could conduct a brilliant interview. I feel like every candidate that went through our process ended up learning and enjoying the time spent, even those that weren't succesful!

Alicia was part of my team for almost 3 years at Casumo. She was a high-energy recruiter, always going above and beyond for stakeholders and candidates. Not only was she an avid enthusiast for the best candidate experience, she ensured our processes and tools were under constant improvement, always looking for more efficient ways of doing things. Alicia is a a real "doer" , happy to knuckle down and give whatever it takes, prioritising her role and her team in all she does.
