What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven full-lifecycle recruiter with over 10 years of experience in hiring top talent across quantitative research, data science, machine learning, software engineering, and AI-focused roles. My proven success in managing end-to-end recruitment for high-growth startups and Fortune 500 companies has equipped me with a deep understanding of hiring markets and the ability to develop recruitment strategies aligned with business goals.
Throughout my career, I have excelled in technical sourcing, candidate engagement, and structured interviewing, consistently delivering a seamless and positive candidate experience. My recent role as a Senior Recruiter at Seekr Technologies allowed me to manage recruitment for AI and machine learning roles, where I built a pipeline of over 600 candidates and achieved a 97% offer acceptance rate. I am passionate about enhancing employer branding and driving diversity hiring initiatives to attract top-tier talent in competitive markets.
