Maria Galvez Santos

RECRUITMENT MANAGER.

Hola! My name is Maria born in the Philippines but raised in Barcelona since the age of 5 years old. Spent most of my university studies and career life in the UK and also got the opportunity to live for a couple of years in the sandpit also known as Abu Dhabi, UAE. After over 10 years of living abroad I felt the pull to return home to Barcelona. Coming back made me realize how unique it feels to be an expat in your own city. That's when I discovered Blu Selection a place where the mission is to help international talent find their dream jobs across Europe.

Recruitment is something I am truly passionate about and the best part is helping people I genuinely have a connection with, those who share similar experiences of building a life across boarders. Being able to guide them towards exciting opportunities feels incredibly rewarding.

My international background allows me to fully understand diverse perspectives and connect with clients on a deeper level, helping them be the bridge to cultural gaps and matching the right talent with the right opportunities. I couldn't be more excited to be part of something that aligns so perfectly with my own journey. I'm happy to #makethebluexperience 💙
