"It's not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves"

*Cheesy quote for the website... check!

Let's skip the clichés and do this differently.

RecruitAid is not a "market leader" or "award winning recruitment provider". Neither are these other guys ;) What makes us different is our values — and we put money where our mouth is.

Building teams that move the world forward.

🤲

Empathy

People often forget job searching as well as hiring can be tough and stressful for all parties involved. Clients may have immense pressure from above, candidates go through things we have no idea about and recruiters.. Where do I start? So maybe, before we are replaced by machines, we should stop acting like them and appreciate the human factor in the process?

🌱

Change

We don't just wish the world was a better place. Every placement we complete generates donations for charities. A portion of every fee goes to grassroots organizations and causes important to you. Are you passionate about women's rights, refugees, environment or reeaaaaaally love cats? Together we can change the world one placement at a time.

Equal Opportunities

Great slogans posted during Pride month and BLM protests get recruiters their followers' appreciation. But often due to targets, management pressure to complete placements, etc. they ignore their client's discriminatory requests. We operate 0 discrimination policy. The excuses about "team fit" only encourage us to help you diversify your team!

⚖️

Equal Fees

20% for everyone. Whether you are a start-up or an international enterprise, our fees remain the same. It ensures transparency, fairness and saves us haggling time we can then spend on ensuring the quality of client's and candidate's experience.

💬

Honesty

It's so much easier! Imagine going on a date, saying everything the other party wants to hear and hoping it's going to be a great match. We want everyone to be unapologetically themselves in the process as only that way, we increase chances of a long-term fit. By being honest with interview feedback, we can help candidates grow and prepare for their next application and our clients make necessary changes to attract the right talent. No more ghosting!

🚀

Enablement

We put our efforts into helping job seekers prepare for the process. Our mission is to share our knowledge, skills and time with the ones who need a bit of extra support. We work with refugees, young women and other less privileged groups to get them opportunities they feel are out of their reach.

And lastly.. TRUST.
Give us 1% of it and we will earn the remaining 99.

How can I help?

01

Contingency Recruitment

I'm not demanding being exclusive from day one, that would make me look crazy ;) If you need a hand with any of your roles and would like to see what it's like to work with me, let's start with contingency set up!

02

In-House Support

If you need a temporary cover to handle your in-house recruitment needs (whether it's a hiring spree or a sickness cover for your current team), feel free to contact me. If you're based in Europe, I'd be more than happy to spend time onsite to better understand (and represent) your business.

03

Talent Acquisition Function Set Up

If you are a startup without the need (or budget) for a full time Talent Acquisition Manager, I can set up the TA function for you, implement your ATS, acquire sponsorship license, manage employer branding, LinkedIn presence and more. Everything will be tailored to your needs.

Few truths and.. no lie.

Daria

Daria

Founder, RecruitAid

I have 18 years of experience in recruitment covering sustainability, tech, sales, oil & gas and leadership roles. I left Eastern Europe with €1 in my pocket and now I'm running my own recruitment company.

I placed people all over the world including most hostile locations. If you want to hear the stories about my clients kidnapped by pirates or candidates hiding under beds, get in touch!

I'm multilingual, which means I can easily build rapport with a lot of people but also regularly forget words in my mother tongue.

I'm terrible at talking about myself but let me tell you about the amazing people I work with!

I chose not to use AI to write my website content. I hope it wasn't a mistake!

Enough about me though — I'd love to learn about you and what you're working on. Let's connect!

Say Hi on LinkedIn

The best talent partner to have on your side when you are in dire need of recruitment support. I have worked with her on numerous hard to fill roles. She provides valuable insight, advice and keeps me in the loop on every moving parts about the candidates who are involved in the recruitment process. Professional and concise in her process which delivers excellent candidates that make an impact in the business. Spoken highly within my most recent organisation as a reliable individual that can deliver on her promise. She is there when it truly matters. Any company would be lucky to have her in their talent arsenal.

Ralph Lauren Fajardo
Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

I was fortunate enough to work with Daria to land me the role at Aegis Energy, and I can honestly say she's the best recruiter I've ever worked with. She initially reached out having spotted that I was a strong fit for the role, even though at first glance it wasn't obvious on paper. From our very first conversation, she communicated the role and the mission of the company so clearly that I was already bought in and excited. Throughout the whole process, she struck the perfect balance by always being resourceful, supportive and honest but never pushy. Not only did I secure the role, but I also came away having made a friend.

Sami Eric
Clean Energy Infrastructure

I had the pleasure of working with Daria during the recruitment process for my current role, and I can confidently say she is one of the very few recruiters I've encountered throughout my career who are truly professional. From our first conversation, I never felt like just another candidate on the list — she took the time to fully understand my experience, expectations, and concerns. At every stage, she communicated with clarity and integrity, and her ability to guide the process thoughtfully and keep all parties aligned was exceptional. It's rare to feel so well represented.

Agne Jeri Donat
Head of Legal, Aegis Energy

On a random evening, with a simple click to apply for a job listed on LinkedIn, I landed in the hands of Daria. Little did I know how much of an impact she would make in my professional as well as personal life. She is, hands down, one of the best recruiters I've ever worked with. What really impressed me most is the fact that she puts her candidates FIRST. Her energy, passion and sympathy are simply unmatched. Even during the most intense moments, she knew how to actively listen to me, never failed to keep me updated, and made sure she's there for me as a human being. She turned from a stranger into a friend in no time.

Leyla Temiz
SDR Leader

Daria reached out to me about a role that turned out to be a perfect fit, and I'm so glad she did. From that first message through every stage of the recruitment process, she was incredibly supportive, transparent, and proactive. She made sure I was well-prepared at each step, kept communication flowing, and offered great insights that helped me feel confident throughout. Daria genuinely cared, and it showed in every conversation. She's a fantastic recruiter, I can't recommend her enough!

Rabeccah Kwoba
Senior Civil Engineer, Aegis Energy

Daria is an exceptional professional and human being who can add value and make an impact to every organisation's growth! I have worked very closely with her to build our EMEA Teams at nCino for the past few years and she has been phenomenal! I couldn't imagine a better Recruitment Partner for any organisation!

Julie Dermati
Global Talent Acquisition Director, Blueground

I couldn't recommend Daria more highly. She was amazing in recognising my skills and how they could be applicable to my role. This was made more impressive by the fact that my role was in a sector that she hasn't experienced too much. She was then able to keep me thoroughly engaged and updated throughout the interview process — working tirelessly to move the process along swiftly. She provided excellent feedback throughout and helped me to work on weaknesses and highlight my strengths for future interviews. Daria is a fantastic recruiter!

Chesley Fagan
Real Estate Acquisition & Investment

Daria isn't your average recruiter. She genuinely cares about the candidates and clients she works with. Passionate, knowledgeable and honest are some of the words I would use to describe her. My experience as a candidate was far above what I have received from other recruiters, both from a candidate perspective and as a client. Daria is an expert in her field, mapping the market and delivering the best service possible. If you are seeking a new opportunity or want to work with a professional who genuinely cares then get in touch with her.

Will Small
Talent Acquisition Professional

I can't recommend Daria highly enough. She is easily the best recruiter I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Daria has the best interests of the client and the recruitee at heart and she gave me excellent advice throughout the course of my interviews. Always friendly, professional and thoughtful, and a very hard worker. Thank you Daria!

Meg Thompson
Site Development, Aegis Energy

To describe Daria in 3 words — Competitive, reliable, and professional. I've had the pleasure of working with many recruitment consultants in my line of work, but Daria is someone whom I have enjoyed working with the most. She understands the recruitment space very well and has a rich network which makes her a strong recruiter. She knows what's important to our company and goes above and beyond our expectations to hire the best. She is very proactive in her approach and is very committed and focused on delivering on time.
