GANESH MAHADEVAN
@ganeshmahadevan
Talent acquisition specialist delivering global, high-volume hiring with MIS/AI-driven matching and reduced time-to-fill.
What I'm looking for
I’m a talent acquisition specialist with 6+ years of end-to-end recruitment experience across BFSI, SaaS, and BPO/Government Relations environments, supporting hiring corridors across India, the US, the UK, Australia, and expanding into GCC (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar). I consistently deliver 95%+ SLA-compliant, high-volume hiring for Tier-1 banks and lead strategic, agency-free recruitment for global SaaS and professional-services organizations.
I’m hands-on with outcomes: I’ve cut time-to-fill by 30% and successfully closed senior leadership mandates without external agency spend. In my current role, I drive non-technical talent acquisition across GCC and India, managing pipelines across QT Specialist, Finance, Operations, Immigration, and Business Development functions.
I also build hiring technology that supports better decisions. I design and develop recruitment MIS/dashboards for leadership, including consolidating 255+ requisitions with KPI tracking, aging flags, and post-joining status reporting, and I improve sourcing efficiency using precision Boolean search on Naukri Resdex. Alongside my recruitment work, I independently built and run an AI-powered job-matching platform, Karrivo, to help job seekers connect with the right opportunities.
