@akankshyasarmah
I support end-to-end hiring, sourcing candidates, coordinating interviews, and delivering smooth onboarding experiences.
What I'm looking for
I've supported end-to-end recruitment at IIM Skills, sourcing and screening 350+ candidate profiles, conducting 100+ initial HR screening interviews, and coordinating hiring for non-technical roles.
I partner with stakeholders to schedule interviews and maintained a 95%+ interview attendance rate. I've also managed candidate records with 100% accuracy, completed 100+ candidate follow-ups, and helped onboard 20+ new hires through documentation and pre-joining coordination.
My earlier work spans teaching, media production, and digital content. At DY365, I supported five daily news segments with 100% on-time delivery and improved social engagement by 15–20% through data-informed content scheduling.
I'm drawn to fast-paced, people-focused environments where I can build strong talent pipelines, create positive candidate experiences, and keep hiring processes running smoothly.
