What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead talent acquisition and HR operations end-to-end, streamline hiring with structured MIS, and strengthen stakeholder alignment—while applying AI tools and prompt engineering to improve efficiency, engagement, and workforce planning.

I’m a strategic HR & Talent Acquisition professional with 10+ years of experience in recruitment, HR operations, workforce planning, and CSR outreach across corporate and educational sectors. I focus on end-to-end hiring, building talent pipelines, and improving hiring efficiency through structured HR processes, stakeholder management, and strong documentation.

In my current role as Deputy Manager – HR (CSR Outreach & Operations), I lead CSR outreach and operational initiatives impacting 20+ institutional partnerships and community programs annually, coordinating across 5–8 internal departments and multiple external stakeholders. I also manage MIS reporting, documentation, and compliance tracking for 50+ outreach and operational activities per year, and I’ve streamlined reporting and coordination processes to improve operational tracking efficiency by ~25%. Previously, as Assistant Manager – HR (Recruitment & Talent Acquisition), I managed 80–120 roles annually, reduced hiring turnaround time by 20–30%, supported 300+ candidate screenings and 150+ interviews yearly, and improved joining ratios by ~15–20%; earlier, as Sr. Executive – HR, I handled 40–60 roles annually and built high-volume recruiting expertise across sourcing, screening, scheduling, and onboarding. I’m currently upskilling in Digital Marketing with AI and Prompt Engineering to bring a technology-driven approach to HR and business operations.
