About Me

Talent acquisition with a personal touch

I'm Kinslee — an independent talent acquisition consultant based in the heart of Madrid. I work with companies across Europe and beyond to find the people who don't just fill a role, but genuinely elevate a team.

After years working inside recruitment, I went independent to do things differently — building real relationships, moving with agility, and treating every search with the same care I'd want if I were the candidate.

When I'm not headhunting, you'll find me exploring a new city, hiking somewhere with a great view, or around a table with good friends and better food.

My Approach

How It Works

A clear, human process from first conversation to first day.

01

Discovery Call

We talk. Not just about the job spec, but about your company, your culture, and what success actually looks like for this hire.

02

Search & Sourcing

I map the market, tap my network, and reach the people who aren't on job boards — the ones who fit because they're not looking.

03

Curated Shortlist

You receive a tight, well-briefed shortlist. No noise, no padding — just candidates I'd genuinely recommend with full context on each.

04

Close & Beyond

I manage the offer, negotiation and onboarding — and I stay in touch, because good placement doesn't end at the signature.
