I am a Talent Acquisition specialist with 15+ years of experience leading full-cycle recruitment across Real Estate, Corporate, and International markets. I focus on strategic sourcing, ATS-driven processes, and stakeholder partnership to build high-performing teams.

I have implemented ATS workflows, structured scorecards, and competency-based assessments to improve quality-of-hire and reporting accuracy.

My strengths include workforce planning, employer branding, campus recruitment, and improving offer-to-join ratios through pre-onboarding engagement.
I hold an MBA (HR & Marketing) and an M.Sc. in IT-related management, and certifications including PEGA CBA and 16PF Psychometric Tool administration. I bring a data-driven, candidate-focused approach to reduce attrition, enhance engagement, and align hiring strategies with business goals.
