What I'm looking for

I seek a senior TA role where I can lead data-driven full-cycle recruitment, mentor teams, scale hiring programs, and promote diversity in a collaborative, fast-paced company that values measurable impact.

I am a data-driven senior Technical Recruiter with 12+ years in HR and over 8 years focused on Talent Acquisition across APAC and the US, skilled in full-cycle hiring for niche IT roles like Big Data, Java, AI/ML, Cloud and Automation as well as non-technical functions. I have led recruitment teams, driven campus hiring initiatives, introduced remote hiring best practices that reduced costs by 25%, and delivered a 96% candidate satisfaction score through improved hiring experiences.

I excel at building high-quality talent pipelines using multi-channel sourcing, preparing strategic MIS dashboards to influence leadership decisions, and promoting diversity and career-restart programs. I mentor hiring teams, design interview frameworks and assessments, and align recruitment practices with business objectives to boost job satisfaction and reduce attrition.
