Ciara specialises in AI Software Engineer roles across the DACH region here at Trust in SODA. She’s passionate about delivering the perfect candidate and client experience, balancing market insight with a genuinely human approach to recruitment. Before finding her home in tech recruitment, Ciara spent years in NHS Operations Management (so yes, she can handle pressure, complexity, and just about anything a hiring process throws her way). While it wasn’t recruitment, it gave her a strong foundation in people, problem-solving, and keeping things running when it really matters. She’s since found her niche in AI and tech, where she thrives on connecting innovative companies with exceptional talent and making the process as seamless (and enjoyable) as possible.
