Bhavesh Methwani
@bhaveshmethwani
HR Business Partner and Talent Acquisition specialist driving workforce planning and strategic hiring.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven HR professional with 3+ years of experience across HR Business Partnering and Talent Acquisition. I partner with business leaders to drive workforce planning, employee engagement, performance management, and strategic hiring initiatives.
At District by Zomato, I’ve owned the complete employee lifecycle for a 120+ member team, aligning people strategy with business priorities. I led end-to-end hiring across technical and non-technical roles—Data Engineering, Data Analytics, Product, Software Engineering, Marketing, and Program Management—using LinkedIn Recruiter, IIMJobs, Naukri, and employee referrals to achieve a 25–30 day average time-to-hire.
I also help strengthen retention and employee experience through culture check-ins, stay interviews, and exit interviews, contributing to voluntary attrition below 12%. As the primary HRBP for Marketing across a 120+ employee population, I advise managers on employee relations, performance management, career development, and organizational effectiveness.
Previously at Expedia Group, I built trust-based partnerships with business leaders and sourced 30–40 top-tier engineering talent per month using advanced sourcing strategies (Boolean & X-ray). I managed full recruitment lifecycles and delivered metrics like 25–30 days average time-to-hire, reneging ratio below 5%, and a 60% inbound / 40% proactive sourcing mix, including targeted DE&I work (50+ PWD candidates sourced in one month and 4 offers extended in a quarter).
