IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a highly awarded Talent Acquisition professional with 9+ years of experience building talent pipelines through advanced sourcing and HR best practices. I focus on finding the right roles for candidates and enabling seamless onboarding, including campus hiring from B and Tier 1 Schools.
In my current role as Lead, Tech Talent Acquisition, I lead end-to-end hiring across Engineering, Product, Data, Mobile, and Technology while partnering with leadership on workforce planning and organizational effectiveness.
