What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead full-cycle recruitment, improve hiring metrics with data-driven strategies, drive employer branding, and enhance employee engagement in a growth-focused company.

I am a results-driven HR professional with five years of experience in end-to-end recruitment, HR operations, and talent acquisition across IT and non-IT domains. I specialize in technical hiring, employer branding, recruitment analytics, and building talent pipelines for SaaS firms, startups, and product organizations.

In my recent role as Senior HR Manager, I led full-cycle recruitment, reduced time-to-hire by 30%, improved new-hire retention by 18%, boosted team productivity by 1.5×, and improved offer-to-join ratios by 25% through targeted engagement and data-driven hiring strategies.

I am proficient with ATS and recruitment tools (Workable, Zoho Recruit, Recruitly, LinkedIn Recruiter), strong in stakeholder management and reporting, and focused on cost-efficient hiring practices, campus drives, onboarding, and employee engagement programs that drive retention and productivity.
