What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, values diversity, and emphasizes employee development.

As a dedicated Talent Acquisition and Development Specialist, I bring a wealth of experience in mastering HR situations and implementing effective talent acquisition and learning development policies. My journey began with a B.Com from Bangalore University, and I have since honed my skills in various roles, most recently at IKEA Kuwait. Here, I successfully managed the onboarding process for new hires and developed comprehensive training programs that align individual goals with organizational objectives.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proactive approach to talent sourcing, achieving a remarkable 90% offer acceptance rate and a 25% increase in employee retention. My expertise in building strong relationships with hiring managers and stakeholders has allowed me to create a robust candidate pipeline, successfully hiring over 500 employees in less than eight months. I am passionate about fostering a strong ethical foundation within organizations and ensuring alignment with core values.
