Anil Koobarawa

I am a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner with extensive in-house and freelance experience delivering global recruitment strategies aligned to business objectives. I lead end-to-end recruitment, build talent pipelines, and coach hiring managers to improve hiring outcomes.

I have delivered measurable cost savings through direct sourcing—£360,000 at News UK and £500,000 at A2 Dominion—while maintaining strong placement rates and high-volume hiring performance. I use market mapping, competitor analysis and data-driven insights to forecast talent needs and inform workforce planning.

I have founded and grown a freelance recruitment business and established a new finance recruitment desk, demonstrating commercial acumen and entrepreneurial drive. I also design recruitment branding, ATS optimisation and targeted LinkedIn/Glassdoor strategies to improve candidate attraction.

I am committed to inclusive, compliant hiring and continuous professional development (CIPD Level 7 in progress). I enjoy partnering with senior stakeholders to translate people needs into practical, measurable talent solutions.
