What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end hiring and talent pipeline strategy across industries, collaborate with Founders and business leaders, and use HR MIS dashboards to improve hiring outcomes and operational efficiency.

I’m a result-oriented HR professional with 9+ years of experience in Talent Acquisition and HR Operations, currently working as a Freelance Recruiter since 2017. I manage end-to-end recruitment across FMCG, Digital Marketing, Pharma, PR, NGO, and Corporate sectors, handling PAN India manpower planning and full-cycle hiring from sourcing to onboarding.

I bring strong stakeholder management and recruitment operations expertise, including talent pipeline building, offer negotiation and salary structuring, and employee lifecycle coordination. I maintain recruitment MIS and hiring dashboards, coordinate with Founders/Business Heads/Directors, and support HR processes like onboarding, payroll inputs, and performance management—while consistently closing mid to senior-level positions.
