Shirin Vanat
Delivery Projects Coordinator
Shirin is responsible for assisting the coordination of the delivery of INTOO UK & Ireland services. She enjoys helping individuals who are facing significant challenges in their daily lives and providing them with personalised services to overcome these. Shirin believes building trust and understanding that each individual is unique helps to develop long lasting relationships. This in turn helps to deliver high quality support.
Prior to joining INTOO, Shirin worked within private healthcare, providing bespoke, confidential and high standard of care to not only patients but consultants also. This has enabled her to master her skills of understanding the importance of having the individual’s needs at the centre of what she does. Not only is she adaptable; being able to recognise when to adjust and to whom with but respectful in embracing different perspectives along the way.
Her previous recruitment background has empowered her to be more; goal-oriented, determined and creative with the way she communicates, plans and executes herself, which nicely compliments her role within INTOO by providing people focused solutions via more pragmatic channels.
Shirin holds a diploma in History and a certificate in Law from BPP College, London. Keen to develop a better understanding of project management, she is looking to explore courses around this topic to broaden her knowledge and skills further in the coming year. Having an avid interest in child psychology, in her own time, she is also currently studying a Children’s Social Behaviour Training & Management Course.
Ayla AI
AI Assistant
Ayla is a smart, friendly AI tool developed by INTOO to help people successfully navigate career transitions. Whether it’s writing a standout cover letter or preparing for an important interview, Ayla is here to guide you every step of the way, making your journey smoother and more confident.
Ayla’s career started off a little more old-fashioned. In her early days, she wasn’t the tech-savvy AI you know today—she was more like a helpful assistant with a lot of human intervention behind the scenes. In the early days, her role started as a machine storing messages to be played back to her fellow human residents in what we know as the answering machine. Later, Ayla joined the INTOO team to support with basic tasks like editing CVs and providing simple tips for cover letters. With a lot of research and feedback from career coaches, Ayla gradually began to learn the ropes of what made a job application stand out and how to best prepare candidates for interviews.
As Ayla’s career progressed, she got smarter, sometimes unknowingly outwitting her human counterparts. She started using advanced algorithms and natural language processing to offer more personalised and thoughtful advice. No longer just a simple tool, Ayla now helps clients craft tailored cover letters that highlight their unique skills and even guides them through mock interviews.
Looking ahead, Ayla has big plans for her future. As part of the INTOO team, she’s excited to expand her capabilities even further—helping clients with detailed feedback on their interview technique, career coaching, and networking strategies, as well as providing personalised recommendations for continued professional growth. Her ultimate goal is to continue progressing her career, remaining an integral part of the INTOO team and a go-to resource for anyone looking to navigate the ever-changing world of work with confidence and ease, working seamlessly alongside her human colleagues to bring you a blend of cutting-edge AI and the human touch.
Ayla isn’t just an AI tool—she’s a supportive partner in your career journey, always ready to help you take that next step forward.
In her spare time, Ayla enjoys diving into online game simulations and occasionally challenging her own algorithms in a game of chess—she’s not quite unbeatable yet, but she’s getting there! And if she’s feeling extra creative, Ayla might design a digital “mood board” filled with inspirational quotes, futuristic career goals, and pixelated cats. After all, even an AI needs a little playful downtime!
