Talent Beacon Spotlight: Priscila Borges
For Priscila Borges, recruiting has never been about filling roles - it's about building bridges of trust between people and organizations. As a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist at Ricoh Italy, she manages the end-to-end recruitment process with a deeply human-centric philosophy, ensuring every step of the candidate journey is handled with care, transparency, and integrity.
A Career Built on Self-Awareness
Priscila's entry into talent acquisition was anything but accidental. After conducting a personal SWOT analysis, she identified HR consulting as the perfect intersection of her interpersonal skills and technical mindset. That self-awareness launched a career defined by continuous evolution - from consulting to in-house talent acquisition, and now into a role where she blends data analysis, AI, and empathy to elevate the standard of service she provides.
From Process Manager to Talent Partner
A pivotal moment came during a period of rapid organizational growth, when Priscila managed an enormous volume of open positions simultaneously. The pressure forced her to evolve: she couldn't rely on speed alone. She learned to integrate data-driven strategy with a more empathetic approach, transforming herself from a process manager into a true talent partner.
In 2026, Priscila is championing what she calls "Human-First Automation" - using AI to handle the repetitive parts of recruiting so recruiters can devote more high-quality time to real conversations. Her message to the industry is clear:
A CV tells us what a person has done, but only a human connection can reveal what a person can become.
Priscila is also a passionate advocate for employer branding and actively contributes to the LinkedIn Talent Community with thoughtful articles exploring the balance between technology and humanity in recruiting.
Beyond the Work
Outside of work, she stays active with running and sports, enjoys cultural experiences, and has a secret obsession: true crime documentaries. As she puts it, her passion for investigating the human mind translates into her work too - "minus the crime scenes, of course!"
