Hi, I'm Raisa!

I do HR across the whole employee lifecycle.

I've spent seven years in recruiting, people operations, and L&D. My work has included technical recruiting at Google, HR on a two-person team, and employee training for a large tech company.

How I can help

Three ways to work with me

For hiring managers

Hire me full-time

I’m choosing my next team carefully. Looking for a senior People Ops role or a senior Recruiting role where I can own the work end-to-end, either running HR or running full-cycle technical recruiting.

  • Senior Recruiting, TA, or sourcing lead
  • HRBP or People Partner
  • L&D manager or lead
  • Program Manager
See my experience

For growing teams

Fractional HR support

I take 1–2 fractional clients at a time, fractional HR or fractional recruiting. Best fit for 25–75-person companies that need senior HR or recruiting help without a full-time hire yet.

  • Fractional HR: HRBP, ER, compliance, and policies
  • Fractional recruiting: full-cycle or sourcing only
  • Onboarding, HRIS, and ATS setup
How fractional works

For HR teams and leaders

HR AI consulting

I help HR teams adopt AI for one workflow at a time, usually 2–4 weeks, scoped to a single deliverable like an onboarding AI assistant or a recruiting prompt library.

  • Audit a recurring HR workflow
  • Design and test prompts
  • Train your team to use and verify AI output
How AI consulting works

All three tracks share the same work: I help HR teams run better. Full-time gives me scope, fractional gives me range, AI consulting gives me depth on what's changing in our field.

My story

The year I stepped back

In 2026, I took a break from corporate work and spent a couple of months traveling across Europe, Asia, and North America. I wanted time to think about what I enjoy and what I want to do next.

I spent more time learning AI, published children's coloring books, and started a business on the side. I'm now looking for my next HR role and taking on a few consulting projects.
