@jamunahariharan
I’m a Talent Acquisition expert who improves time-to-fill and builds inclusive, data-driven hiring pipelines.
What I'm looking for
I’m a strategic, results-oriented Talent Acquisition expert with 12+ years of progressive experience designing and leading recruitment strategies that drive organizational growth. I partner with senior leadership to define workforce needs, optimize hiring processes, and build talent pipelines that attract high-quality candidates.
I’ve led full-cycle recruiting across corporate, sales, and operations, including high-volume hiring (100+ monthly hires during peak periods). I use workforce analytics and ATS reporting to improve quality of hire, reduce turnover, and streamline workflows—cutting time-to-fill by 30% through job description and process reengineering.
I’m known for strengthening employer branding and candidate experience while creating inclusive hiring frameworks aligned to DEI and EEO expectations. Across roles, I’ve supported recruitment and onboarding for 1,000+ employees, improved 1-year retention by 25%, and enhanced compliance through tools and processes like Paycor ATS, I-9 compliance, and background screening.
