INDEPENDENT EXECUTIVE RECRUITER & TALENT ADVISOR
Finding Exceptional Talent. Building High-Impact Teams.
I partner with organizations to confidentially identify, evaluate, and introduce professionals whose experience, capabilities, and ambitions align with the roles they need to fill.
Confidential & Discreet
Hiring requirements are handled with professionalism, discretion, and respect for sensitive information.
Pre-Market Access
Some opportunities are shared with me before they are publicly advertised.
Quality Over Quantity
I focus on identifying professionals who genuinely align with the role, organization, and requirements.
Success-Based
No upfront search fee. My success is connected to successful introductions and placements under the agreed engagement terms.
ABOUT WHANA
Talent Acquisition With a Strategic, Human Approach.
Hi, I'm Whana Hashimi. I am a Talent Acquisition Expert and Talent Marketing Strategist focused on helping organizations identify people who can make a meaningful difference.
As an experienced full-cycle recruiter, I bring a deep understanding of the hiring process — from sourcing and screening to offer negotiation and onboarding. I thrive in fast-paced and matrixed environments where agility, precision, and sound judgment are essential.
My strength lies in identifying and engaging high-quality professionals across a wide range of roles and industries while combining research-driven recruitment strategies with a people-first approach.
I believe exceptional recruitment is about more than matching keywords on a résumé. It is about understanding what an organization actually needs, assessing the individual behind the résumé, and creating an introduction where there is genuine potential for alignment.
My goal is simple: help organizations make better talent decisions while creating opportunities for professionals who are genuinely positioned to contribute.
MY APPROACH
Strategic. Thorough. Trusted.
Every search begins with understanding — not simply a job description.
Understand
I begin by understanding the role, organization, culture, expectations, and specific qualifications required.
Research
I conduct focused market and talent research to identify professionals whose background may genuinely align.
Evaluate
Candidates are reviewed against the requirements, experience, capabilities, and overall fit of the opportunity.
Engage
Where appropriate, I approach potential candidates discreetly and determine their interest and readiness.
Introduce
Qualified and interested professionals are introduced to the organization for further evaluation.
Support
I remain involved throughout the process to help maintain clear communication and a professional experience.

ALSO AVAILABLE
FOR ORGANIZATIONS
Have a Role to Fill Before You Take It Public?
Organizations can engage me when they need a discreet, focused approach to identifying talent.
You can share the role requirements, experience level, qualifications, location, and other important details with me confidentially.
From there, I research the relevant talent market, identify potential matches, evaluate alignment, and approach suitable professionals where appropriate.
Some opportunities are provided to me before they are publicly advertised. If the right candidate is identified and the organization proceeds successfully, the role may not need to be publicly advertised at all — giving organizations another route to access qualified professionals while protecting discretion and reducing unnecessary exposure.
NO UPFRONT SEARCH FEE
"Organizations do not pay simply for me to begin a search. Compensation is based on successful introductions and placements, according to the agreed engagement terms."
Final commercial terms are agreed directly with the organization before an engagement begins.
Some Searches Are Better Handled Quietly.
Not every hiring need belongs on a public job board. For sensitive, strategic, replacement, leadership, or highly specialized searches, organizations may prefer a more discreet approach.
My role is to help identify relevant professionals without unnecessarily exposing the organization's hiring strategy or creating a broad public search.
Private
Your hiring requirements are handled discreetly.
Focused
Research is centered around the actual requirements of the role.
Strategic
The goal is not simply to fill a vacancy, but to identify someone who can contribute meaningfully.
WHY ORGANIZATIONS WORK WITH ME
More Than Filling a Vacancy.
Access to Hidden Talent
Reach professionals who may not be actively applying to public job postings.
Time & Resource Savings
Reduce the time and internal resources required to identify and approach potential candidates.
Quality-First Search
Focus on relevant professionals rather than sending organizations large volumes of unsuitable résumés.
Long-Term Alignment
Experience, capabilities, organizational environment, and potential fit — not simply job-title matching.
"Good recruitment fills a role. Great recruitment creates alignment."
FOR PROFESSIONALS
Your Next Opportunity May Not Be Public Yet.
I occasionally connect with professionals whose experience aligns with confidential or emerging opportunities. If you are an experienced professional open to hearing about relevant opportunities, you can introduce yourself and share your professional background.
Please note that contacting me does not guarantee employment or placement. Opportunities are discussed only when there is a potential alignment with an organization's requirements.
