What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles leveraging AI and analytics to transform recruitment, lead teams, build employer partnerships, and improve placement outcomes.

I am an innovative, results-driven Talent Acquisition and Career Services leader with extensive experience in AI-powered recruitment, workforce planning, and business intelligence-driven decision-making.

I have a track record of measurable impact — increasing graduate placement rates from 34% to 66.7% within eight months and delivering placement outcomes of 85%-94% through predictive analytics and targeted employer engagement.

I leverage AI recruiting tools, machine learning algorithms, AI-enhanced ATS and CRM platforms (Workday, Taleo, Campus Nexus), chatbots, and process automation to enhance candidate experience, streamline hiring, and optimize time-to-hire.

I lead teams, develop strategic employer partnerships, and implement data-driven talent pipelines; I am passionate about driving digital transformation in workforce solutions and scaling placement performance through analytics and AI-driven strategies.
