What I'm looking for

I seek a role owning full-cycle recruitment where I can scale hiring strategies, implement ATS/process improvements, mentor teams, and deliver rapid, quality hires within a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist with nearly five years of end-to-end recruitment experience, focused on building high-quality candidate pipelines and improving time-to-hire. I specialize in both tech (bulk hiring) and non-tech niche searches and have led recruitment for startups and corporate environments.

I have a proven track record of closing roles rapidly—closing 30 positions in 5 months and reducing average time-to-fill from 45 to 28 days—while maintaining an interview-to-rejection ratio of less than 5%.

I have implemented and trained teams on ATS platforms (ICIMS, HR One), built sourcing strategies using LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Naukri.com and Boolean/X-ray techniques, and introduced AI recruiter agency approaches. I also created recruitment dashboards and hiring reports to support data-driven decisions.

I am recognized for leadership in hiring: creating a team of 15 freshers, single-handedly managing end-to-end startup hiring, and receiving internal awards for performance and engagement. I aim to continue driving strategic hiring, employer branding, and talent retention initiatives.
