Nenad Zivic

Machine Learning Researcher at Advertima

Nenad Zivic has experienced both sides of the hiring process: first as a candidate and then as a recruiter.

He was initially approached by Sandra Prvulovic, co-founder and lead recruiter at Fenix HR, earlier this year for a role with machine learning technology provider Advertima in Zurich, Switzerland. He wasn’t actively looking for a new job, but was immediately impressed by Sandra’s personal approach.

The whole process took less than two months from the initial approach to the job offer.

In his new role, Nenad is himself now recruiting for a new team of five in Belgrade and has enlisted Fenix HR’s help. They have already found him some high quality candidates for the roles.

“What I liked most about Sandra is her highly personal approach,” said Nenad. “She knew exactly what kind of person that the company needed and what I was looking for in a role and then matching the two.

“She was also constantly in the loop on both sides to understand what was happening and keep you updated at every step of the process. And on the recruiting side she insists on getting to know the company intimately so that she fully understands the culture and the role they are looking to fill.

“She asks all the relevant questions and is very inquisitive. And she makes sure that your time isn’t wasted by putting forward only the highest quality of candidate.”
