Career Strategist
Ade has spent his career fixing broken processes inside large organizations, from his time as a Recruitment Inclusion Specialist and a Band 8 Senior Manager in the NHS (National Health Service), England, to now working within Canada’s public sector. He brings that same approach to a stalled job search: understanding what is going wrong and improving the process.
He has also served on hiring panels across the UK, US and Canada, spanning public and private sectors. This has given him first-hand insight into how candidates perform across multiple interview stages and what employers look for when hiring for mid-level, senior and management roles.
Zadesta has supported professionals who now work across management, policy, technology, data, healthcare, and business roles in the UK, Canada and the US.
