I'm Irosh Wimaladharma from Sri Lanka. I'm the owner & administrator of
http://www.OutsourceLanka.net (working as individual contractor not a team)
I have 7 years of experience as HR Executive + Project Leader (Innodata Isogen Lanka Pvt Ltd - an IT
Company + No. 01 BPO in Sri Lanka).
Currently I'm working as Freelance HR/Recruitment Manager + Project Manager + VA (part time) for two
employers (see my oDesk profile). I'm handling 8 people including 1 Project Manager, 4 PHP
Developers, 2 Web Writers and one VA (they were hired only for specific projects for contract basis). I
spend only 2-4 hours per day for them. Since I'm a full time Freelancer I will be able to work 8hrs+ (per
day) for you.
What can I do as a project manager that no one else can?
I would prefer to introduce myself as Project Manager cum HR Manager. I have experience and skills as
PM as well as HRM. Very rarely you can find experienced PMs with HR skills. What I wanted to tell you
is you/your company will be able to cut the recruitment/HR cost when recruiting people since I have a
database of Developers, programmers, DEOs, Writers in SL. Also I have contacts with head hunting
agencies, institutes, etc.
Recognition is very very important while working with a team. As a HRM I'm always trying to motivate,
reward my team members and improve the relationship among the team. Time to time I invite them for
online forum/discussions (TeamLab) by adding new subjects and they get a chance to share their
experience/skills.
I'm using TeamLab as a Project Management tool to update members, follow up and assign tasks. I have
experience in Basecamp as well. I'm using DrobBox to share/upload files. As PM + HRM I'm responsible
to verify their Work Diary, logs and tasks but once in a week.
I have many sources to recruit candidates and I do interviews by using Skype, Telephone, etc. I use
Teamviewer application to conduct exams and no one will be able to surf internet to find answers. I use
my web site to post ads for vacancies, and other recruitment sources as well (I have posted an ad related
to freelance PHP Programmers few weeks back in TopJobs.lk .
My network is a huge one, I have contacts with many head hunting services, advertising firms,
universities, institutes etc etc.
I have experience in SEO, Internet Marketing, recruitment and placement, Performance
Management/Evaluations, Letter & Report preparation, Leave administration, Policy/Procedure drafting,
ER & IR related, Resignation process, etc. I have followed a HR course which covered all HR key areas.
Also I have experience in letter & report preparation, data analysis,, performance management, etc.
I have an excellent knowledge and experience in Excel including creating reports, data analyzing,
formulas, pivot tables, charts, links, etc. I got 91% marks for MS Excel exam (top 10% - see my profile in
oDesk)
I'm very good in MS Word as well. I got 81% marks in oDesk exam (top 20%).
Data Entry Skills: I have 60wpm touch typing speed (including numeric) with 100% accuracy. I have
followed a touch typing course at Langway Institute.
I'm a good web developer, graphic designer (have followed a higher diploma - Infotec Institute).
I'm a quick learner, team player and also having good managerial skills to handle people. I'm using a high
tech PC with 3.6mbps broadband Internet connection and I'm available 24/7.
Please refer my Odesk profile for more details.
(one of my ex-employer ended my contract due to budget cut and he has given only 3.9 score to my
profile - see his own word about it. I had 5 score rate but unfortunately it has become 4.42 due to
inappropriate score given by the said client - Job: HR Coordinator link:
