Cross functional partnership

“Yasmin did an exceptional job in building our company's first-ever DevOps interview process which transformed how we hire for this function. Her ability to pull together a problem statement grounded in data and build a robust strategy in collaboration with DevOps leaders, HR and recruiting is a true testament to her collaborative approach and ability to influence and partner with key stakeholders. Her strategy involved creating a scalable, inclusive interview process in partnership with DevOps leaders and HRBP's. This was the most intensive part of the process, which involved defining key competencies, designing effective interview questions that aligned to core competencies and rubrics. Yasmin also played a pivotal role in defining the new job function and pay structure with our compensation team. She conducted thorough research and analysis, ensuring that the requirements for the DevOps roles were accurately defined. Her attention to detail and strategic thinking enabled us to attract top talent and establish competitive compensation packages. Lastly, she played a pivotal role in change management and driving adoption across the talent organization via rolling out the new interview process for her talent peers to adhere to.

Yasmin's ability to manage multiple priorities and navigate challenging situations was truly commendable, and her dedication to driving positive change was evident at every step. She consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of the DevOps field and leveraged this knowledge to design a comprehensive interview process that aligned perfectly with our company's goals and values. This in turn resulted in a decrease in time to fill and attrition rates for the function, and significantly improved the overall candidate experience”

Scaling a technical organization

“I worked with Yasmin from June 2020 till September 2023. Over that period Yasmin oversaw hiring for over 60+ candidates into my organization. We hired software engineers, machine learning engineers, machine learning modelers, data scientists, and business analysts. She's a fantastic partner! She makes time to understand hiring needs across a wide range of technical domains, is detail oriented, and someone you can trust. The caliber of talent we had to bring into our organization was high given we were a new organization that set out to iterate and deliver value quickly. Yasmin delivered!”

Building a foundation

"Yas is a true partner when it comes to recruiting and building a team. She invests time up front to understand business needs, identify possible challenges, and develop creative solutions. When I was standing up a new vertical within my larger organization, she worked with me to brand the new function, to attract top tier talent, and to ensure I was building a strong and dynamic group."

Full cycle recruiting

”I've worked with Yasmin closely on many roles over the years. She is a key reason why we were able to rapidly build a team at scale when our company 7x'd their headcount over 5 years.

Her passion for what she does is clear in every interaction. She has a keen eye for talent and embodied professionalism, persistence, and patience at every stage of the recruiting process. I'd welcome any opportunity to work with Yasmin again.”

Championing Diversity

”Yasmin was an incredible business partner to support my recruitment needs. She took the time to understand what is important to me as an executive, and then curated a recruitment strategy that met all my pain points. We worked together to define new metrics for success, and set the hiring bar high to enable us to attract high calibre talent.

She also worked with me as a strategic partner in Diversity and Inclusion which enabled me to attract the best and diverse talent to the Business Advisory & Technology team globally, successfully achieving a 40% female ratio of talent across technology and engineering.“

Trusted partnership

“Yasmin was an exemplary recruiter at Square (now Block), and was able to engage strategically and tactically at all levels of the recruiting process. She upheld the candidate experience and was a trusted partner as we worked to successfully source, evaluate and close candidates for a wide range of critical roles.”
