Executive search consultant at SAPPHIRE HUMAN CAPITAL who closed 19 leadership and specialist mandates with a 100% close rate.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At SAPPHIRE HUMAN CAPITAL, I own end-to-end executive and specialist search mandates across Technology/EV, Consulting, BFSI, Healthcare, Industrial and Energy. My work includes scoping roles with clients, mapping talent markets, engaging candidates and coordinating offers through closure.
I delivered 19 leadership and specialist mandates to closure with a 100% close rate, averaging 30 days to fill and presenting 3–4 candidates per closed role. I also delivered ₹40L in tracked billing against a ₹25L annual target.
I build talent-market intelligence through target-company mapping, organization charts, functional benchmarking and competitive research. I use AI-assisted research alongside Boolean, semantic and social-media sourcing to identify and engage passive senior talent.
Alongside search delivery, I contribute business-development pitch research and manage internal hiring for SAPPHIRE HUMAN CAPITAL. Before that, I worked as a Procurement Associate at SHAREKHAN, handling vendor relationships, contract compliance, supplier benchmarking and cost analysis.
