What I'm looking for
I am a Talent Acquisition and Talent Partnering professional with 9 years of experience across ecommerce, healthcare, pharma, BFSI, retail, and technology domains.
I partner closely with senior leaders and HRBPs to align hiring strategies with workforce plans and deliver end-to-end recruitment solutions, including high-volume and niche hiring.
I have led and mentored teams—managing a team of 10 sourcers—and prepared market intelligence reports to assess talent availability and competitor skill builds while strengthening succession planning pipelines.
My core strengths include full-cycle recruitment, strategic workforce planning, sourcing via Boolean and X‑ray searches, employer branding, and tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Instahyre, Naukri, Zoho, Workday, and ServiceNow.
I deliver high-value hiring outcomes through stakeholder engagement, performance-driven mentoring, and improving hiring efficiency, and I am motivated to scale talent programs and enable workforce transitions in growth-stage organizations.
