What I'm looking for

I’m looking to return to a TA management role where I can lead teams again while using AI to improve sourcing speed, candidate ranking, and hiring quality—backed by strong pipeline planning and ATS/reporting discipline.

I’m a Senior Talent Acquisition professional with 7+ years of end-to-end recruitment experience across Engineering, Technology, Fintech, Health Tech, and Edutech. I’ve closed 200+ positions with an 85-90% offer-to-join conversion rate and build pipelines that recruiters and hiring teams can trust.

Previously, I led a 20+ member TA team (including 3 Team Leads) at TEANSoft, where I reduced time-to-hire by 20% through proactive pipeline planning and structured sourcing. I also trained and mentored 15+ recruiters, owned offer negotiations, and earned recognition including Employee of the Quarter and Best Performer.

Now as a specialist at Moolya, I deepen technical/QA sourcing expertise and scale AI-augmented recruiting workflows. I deployed AI sourcing using ChatGPT and Claude, built Boolean/X-Ray search strings for automation and QA roles, and demonstrated TalentLens to senior leadership—an AI-powered candidate ranking tool built with Claude.
