Borsec Street, No.4

Anca started her career in 2011 as an HR responsible for a local IT company, in parallel with her Master studies on Organizational & Occupational Health Psychology. She joined the AIMS team in Timisoara after 2 years of work experience and almost 2 years of motherhood experience, which she considers the most powerful and valuable experiential self-education period.

Starting with 2015, Anca has successfully closed executive search assignments for key management openings in various industry segments (automotive manufacturing, electronics, Consumer, retail, industrial B2B sales), thus gaining a very good local labour market overview and understanding. She assessed more than 400 people through assessment centers and developed more than 300 people through workshops and trainings, her favourite topics being Time Management, Stress Management, Emotional Intelligence and Hire with Purpose (our very own recruitment and selection training).

Anca is a core team member in AIMS SalaryMap, our compensation and benefits survey dedicated to Manufacturing, Software Development and Outsourcing business sectors and single-handedly managed an important survey on a very hot topic in 2015 – The Millennial Generation in Romania.

Anca likes to research new, innovative methodologies and see how they work in real life, because she believes that we owe our clients the best and most up-to-date solutions.

Inspire

I truly believe that people can develop throughout their entire life – better versions of ourselves can be created daily. My mission is to assist this development and guide people through this adventure: when making a job change in order to reach their next level of potential (from my role as recruitment consultant); when they need more information on a specific topic or they want to practice in a safe, experiential learning environment (and the trainings/workshops I deliver do the trick here); when they need assistance to become aware of their blind spots (and the assessment center projects that I take part in as a consultant facilitate this self-knowledge through detailed assessment reports on competency gaps and open feedback sessions).

The need to have fun is an important part of this adventure, as I believe that play itself can really facilitate learning – which is why I introduced methodologies such as Lego Serious Play or game-based learning in my special facilitator toolkit.

All in all, I get inspired by different life stories and experiences and find it magical to learn from them and use them afterwards in my projects. To me, it is fascinating to see people having ’’Aha moments’’ facilitated by my work. This is something I could never give up!
