Hey there! It’s me again, The TLC Recruiter—back to let you in on the latest chapter of my journey. If you’ve read my previous work, you’ll know I’ve been around the HR and recruitment block. But now, I’m taking things up a notch with freelance recruiting under my very own brand, TLC Recruitment Nest.

Now, before we go any further, let me clear a few things up:

Yes, I’m still a part-time Independent Contractor.

No, I didn’t walk away from that.

And no, I didn’t pivot into a big agency model—that’s just not where my heart is.

I’ve always believed in keeping things personal.

One-on-one conversations. Thoughtful connections.

A recruitment process that feels human—not transactional.

A personal touch, a little creativity, and, of course, plenty of TLC. 💁‍♀️

From Remote Roots to TLC Recruiting

Let’s rewind to 2017, when I started working remotely full-time as an Independent Contractor. Back then, I had no idea that I was about to dive headfirst into the world of end-to-end recruitment—sourcing, screening, interviewing, onboarding... you name it. I wasn’t sitting in a traditional office, but I was very much immersed in helping this Australian-based business grow their team.

I wasn’t drinking coffee from a “World’s Best Recruiter” mug (though, I have to admit, that mug might soon be a reality lol). What I was doing was meaningful work, day in and day out, creating systems that helped the company find and hire talent in the most efficient, human way possible. And I loved it.

Enter April 2025 : TLC Recruitment Nest
Slogan: “Recruiting with a Touch of TLC”

Nope, it’s not a bird sanctuary. (Though, I can’t say I wouldn’t mind a cozy nest for job seekers.)
It’s my freelance recruiting venture, where businesses get a more personalized, human approach to finding top talent.

And, just to reiterate—I’m not a corporate agency with a massive team of anonymous recruiters. When you work with TLC Recruitment Nest, you’re working directly with me—The TLC Recruiter. I keep it personal, I keep it real, and I keep it focused on your needs.

Why Freelance Recruiting?

Let me be upfront: after years of working full-cycle recruitment, I realized something important about myself.

I wasn’t just good at finding the right candidates—I loved it. There’s something incredibly satisfying about connecting people to roles and cultures where they truly thrive. It’s like matchmaking, but with LinkedIn profiles instead of wedding rings. And when I realized that this was my passion, it didn’t feel like work at all—it felt like something I was meant to do. 😊

That’s when I decided: it’s time to go freelance. Not because I had to do, but because I wanted to. Through TLC Recruitment Nest,  I now get to help businesses hire the right way: with heart, strategy, and yes, a little bit of that TLC.

The Remote Work Advantage

Remote work has taught me a few things that have been invaluable in my recruitment process:

I can spot a great candidate—even if I’ve never met them in person (thank you, video interviews!).
I know how to communicate across time zones and Slack channels (even when everyone’s caffeine levels are questionable)

I’ve mastered the art of building recruitment processes and workflows that actually work—without unnecessary red tape or meetings that could’ve been emails.

In short, remote work turned me into a recruitment ninja. (And yes, I still wear my invisible mask. just for fun!)
