Customer Support and Success

Hanna is Talent Army Auckland’s resident cat lover. When she is not looking after her (and other peoples) felines, she is engaging candidates in the Auckland market to work with the most exciting startups.

Hanna's first taste of startups came from her time at Wise (former Transferwise), where she was involved in scaling the Customer Support team from a team of 10 in one office to 200+ over 4 continents. They were constantly hiring and Hanna was doing a lot of interviews and onboarding, and that's how she got interested in recruitment.

She then travelled and fell in love with NZ, where she started her career in recruitment working with Auckland Doctors and the Northern Regional Alliance as a Recruitment and Allocations coordinator, then RobLawMax Recruitment as a Candidate Manager.

When the opportunity came for Hanna to work with startups again @ Talent Army, it was a match made in heaven!

Hanna has carved out a niche working with Product Designers, Product Managers/ Owners and, in her home in the Customer space and has become the go-to Talent Manager in the Auckland office for such roles.

On the weekends, you can find Hanna on a boat in the Hauraki Gulf, hauling aboard a plethora of ocean bounty.

"The recruitment process was pretty straightforward and easy. I felt I had an open and honest communication with the recruiter (Hanna) and she responded to all of my doubts and made sure that every meeting and little detail was in place to make the process easier. I found a great job and it was easy and simple thanks to Hanna!"

"I've never worked with a recruiter like Hanna before. It was an entirely different but personalised experienced. Usually recruiters feel like car salespeople and real estate agents - they’re only in it for themselves and want to get something from you. But with Hanna, she made it feel like she was on my team and working to get the best possible outcome for me as an individual. Every step along the way she was quick to check in and follow-up to see how I found the interaction with the hiring company and wanted to genuinely hear my opinion about my continuing interest in the role. I didn’t feel pressured and it felt like a bespoke experience and that I was only one of a handful of individuals that she was working with at the time. This made me feel valued and that we were working together as a partnership to get the best outcome for me. In the end, I managed to get multiple offers and landed a dream role. Thanks Hanna!"
