I’m looking for a strategic technical recruiting role where I can build global engineering teams, improve hiring processes, mentor recruiters, and partner closely with founders and engineering leaders. I value product-driven companies that treat talent acquisition as a key part of business growth.

Senior Technical Recruiter with 10+ years of global hiring experience, building engineering teams across NAMER, APAC & LATAM.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Technical Recruiter and recruitment leader with 10+ years of experience building and scaling global engineering teams across NAMER, APAC, and LATAM.
My background covers full-cycle technical recruitment, executive and leadership hiring, talent strategy, sourcing, recruitment operations, and stakeholder management. I have recruited for SaaS, AI/ML, cloud, cybersecurity, DevOps, SRE, data engineering, infrastructure, and other specialized technology roles.
At AMISEQ, I helped build the recruiting function from the ground up, scaling the team from one recruiter to 17 recruiters while introducing structured workflows, SOPs, reporting, sourcing strategies, and performance metrics. I have also led teams of 10–20 recruiters, coached recruiters, improved hiring processes, and partnered closely with engineering leaders and hiring managers.
Some achievements I’m particularly proud of include supporting approximately 70 technical hires annually, achieving a 95% fill rate for niche roles within 35 days, reducing agency dependency by 25%, and contributing to more than 200 successful hires across different markets and technical domains.
I enjoy solving difficult hiring problems, improving candidate experience, using data and AI to make recruiting more effective, and building recruiting functions that can scale with business growth. I’m especially interested in working with product-driven, engineering-focused companies where talent acquisition is treated as a strategic function rather than a transactional service.
I’m currently looking for opportunities where I can combine hands-on recruiting with team leadership, recruitment strategy, process improvement, and the development of high-performing technical teams.
