What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a people-first, growth-focused role where I can build scalable talent acquisition and RPO functions, partner with leadership on workforce strategy, use AI and analytics to improve hiring, and develop high-performing recruitment teams.

I've built and led full-cycle recruitment, RPO, and talent management functions across Fifthgen Tech Solution, Expand My Business, Your Next Move, Techaffinity Consulting, and Techelita. Across IT and non-IT hiring, I've supported high-volume, leadership, technical, campus, and contract staffing mandates.

At Fifthgen Tech Solution, I reduced time-to-hire by 30%, introduced AI-based screening that cut screening time by 50%, and built an end-to-end RPO delivery function as a new business line. I also strengthened client partnerships, increased repeat business by 30%, and improved vendor processes to reduce recruitment costs by 20%.

At Expand My Business and Your Next Move, I led executive, technical, campus, and global contract staffing hiring across India, UAE, Dubai, the USA, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and Europe. I built a 120+ vendor network, managed 1,000+ hires, created university hiring pipelines, and delivered recruitment analytics that gave leaders visibility into hiring performance.

I'm a certified Psychometric Assessor, Career Coach, Management Consultant, Naukri Maestro Recruiter, and POSH Consultant. I enjoy partnering with leaders to build data-driven hiring strategies, stronger candidate experiences, capable recruitment teams, and scalable talent ecosystems.
