Palkesh Khawle

I’m a Lead Talent Acquisition Specialist with 4+ years of proven experience in IT staffing across the USA and Canada, where I manage full-cycle recruitment from requirement analysis and sourcing through screening, interviews, and offer coordination. I’m known for mentoring recruiters, aligning hiring strategies to business goals, and delivering quality talent within strict timelines—especially for contract and contract-to-hire roles.

In my current role at Covetus LLC, I lead and mentor a team of 4 recruiters and partner with resource managers, prime vendors, and technical teams to source niche, hard-to-find skill sets and maintain strong candidate pipelines. I specialize in US staffing across C2C, W2, and full-time/contract models, with deep comfort around work authorizations and visa/compliance processes (including H1B, GC, EAD, and more), using tools like ATS, Dice, Monster, CareerBuilder, and LinkedIn RPS to consistently meet SLAs and hiring targets.
