@laxmikantparate1
Senior talent acquisition specialist with 8+ years delivering end-to-end hiring across IT and non-IT sectors.
What I'm looking for
I’m a result-oriented HR professional with 8+ years of experience in end-to-end recruitment, Talent acquisition, and HR operations across India, USA, and Canada for IT and Non-IT clients. I bring strong stakeholder management and a consistent focus on compliance, grievance handling, and HR process execution.
In my current role as a Talent Acquisition Specialist at SynapseInternational (SRNGroup), I support clients across North America, Canada, and India, specializing in headhunting and recruiting leaders for full-time teams. I manage sourcing, screening, interview coordination, onboarding, offer letter release, background verification support, and retention—while building talent pipelines through ATS, online databases, social media, and job boards.
I’ve handled a wide range of profiles and business needs, including Engineering, IT, Manufacturing, and Automotive roles, and I’ve worked with clients such as Tesla, L&T, Schneider Electric, GE, Siemens, ABB India, Cummins, Bosch, Godrej, Procter & Gamble, and IT startups like Square Block, Robinhood, Stripe, Sofi, Coinbase, and Fidelity Investment. I also have deep experience with US visas and US tax terms (W2, C2C, 1099), alongside VMS/MSP portals like Fieldglass, IQ Navigator, and Beeline.
I stay ahead by combining proven recruiting methods (Boolean and Google X-Ray search, LinkedIn Recruiter, Naukri Premium/Resdex) with generative AI for HR (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity.ai) and AI recruiting tools (Hiresome.ai, Eightfold AI, PeopleGPT). With certifications in Human Resource Management, ChatGPT for HR, and multiple recruiting credentials, I’m ready to drive strategic and operational excellence in core Human Resources.
