LinkedIn Recruiter
Sara Dojčinović
Recruitment Lead
Belgrade
Summary
I’m a Recruitment Leader who doesn’t just fill roles—I build recruitment ecosystems. At DigitalSilk and DesignRush, I’ve designed, led, and scaled recruitment from the ground up—building internal teams, crafting hiring frameworks, and driving talent strategy at the executive level. I served as a close advisor to the CEO, helping solve operational and organizational challenges that extended well beyond recruitment.
At ClickOut Media, I led recruitment transformation across key verticals in fintech, crypto, Web3, and iGaming—modernizing outdated systems with AI-powered tools, ATS integration, and social-led sourcing.
My superpower is communication. I’m known as a closer with a high offer-acceptance rate, relied on by leadership to deliver results, and trusted by candidates to represent both them and the company with integrity.
