About

From HR practitioner to your business and people partner in Cyprus.

I'm a Human Resources Manager, international recruiter, and certified coach with over fifteen years' experience across Cyprus and international markets. I've led HR and recruitment functions in companies ranging from early-stage start-ups to global brands, building recruitment functions from the ground up.

That experience sits behind everything I offer, above all helping businesses set up HR in Cyprus properly the first time, whether that is a regional office of an established group or a growing local company.

What I offer

HR set-up and local compliance for your Cyprus operation.

Main service

Human Resource Department Setup & Cyprus Compliance

Moving into Cyprus means new employment rules, new authorities and a new talent market. I help you build an HR function from the ground up, sized to your business and aligned with local requirements from the start, so you avoid costly corrections later.

I also help you define the culture and values your business actually lives by.

Who it's for: International and established companies opening a headquarters or regional office in Cyprus, and small or growing businesses hiring their first employees.

What's included
  • Assessing your needs and designing your HR structure, roles and responsibilities
  • Local compliance guidance: employer registrations, contracts, working time, leave, termination and data protection
  • Set-up tips for payroll, employee records, onboarding and hiring in the Cyprus market
  • Drafting contracts, job descriptions, handbooks and HR policies
  • Culture and values turned into everyday behaviours that guide hiring, feedback and decisions
  • Handover and training for whoever will run HR day to day

I work alongside your legal, payroll and immigration advisers where specialist input is needed.

Also offered, to support your people and your career. Eligible through HRDA.
