About

Why we do what we do

Leona Stojak

Founder | Talent Solutions 101

With more than 20 years of recruitment and talent acquisition experience, I have partnered with organisations ranging from global brands to growing businesses across Australia, New Zealand and now in the Netherlands.

Having relocated from Australia to the Netherlands, I understand both the opportunities and challenges businesses face when entering a new market. My experience combines deep Australian recruitment expertise with first-hand knowledge of living and working in Europe.

Throughout my career, I have specialised in building long-term relationships, understanding business needs, and delivering recruitment solutions that focus on quality rather than volume.

Today, Talent Solutions 101 helps Australian businesses attract and hire talent across Europe through a personalised, consultative approach built on trust, transparency and genuine partnership.

Career highlights

  • 20+ years in recruitment and talent acquisition
  • Experience supporting international organisations and growing businesses
  • Expertise across talent acquisition, stakeholder management and workforce planning
  • International recruitment experience spanning Australia and Europe.

Why I founded Talent Solutions 101

Moving from Australia to Europe reinforced something I had learned throughout my career: successful recruitment requires more than simply finding candidates.

Different countries, cultures, expectations and employment markets require local understanding and trusted guidance.

Talent Solutions 101 was created to help Australian organisations navigate those differences with confidence and build successful teams across Europe.

Let’s build your team in Europe.
