Rubén López

I'm an Talent Acquisition Specialist who thrives at the intersection of people and data. I handle the full hiring cycle — from sourcing and building genuine relationships with candidates, to designing onboarding programs and training initiatives that help new hires hit the ground running. I have solid experience in HR processes and people analytics, which means I don't just fill roles — I track hiring patterns, measure what's working, and turn workforce data into actionable insights that sharpen recruiting strategy over time.

I'm comfortable working in fast-paced tech environments where a mix of analytical thinking, interpersonal skills, and a good eye for talent can make a real difference in how companies grow their teams.
