What I'm looking for

I seek a senior/talent-acquisition role where I can lead data-driven recruiting, scale diverse technical hiring, mentor teams, and partner with leadership for strategic workforce planning.

I am an experienced Technical Recruiter and Recruiting Business Partner with a strong track record of optimizing recruitment strategies and sourcing top-tier talent across technical and non-technical roles.

I have driven measurable outcomes—39% increase in diverse hires, 20% reduction in cost-per-hire, 12% reduction in time-to-hire, and a 90% offer acceptance rate—while partnering closely with leadership and hiring managers.

My background spans full-cycle recruiting, large-scale hiring programs, talent mapping, recruitment analytics, employer branding, and mentoring junior recruiters across global and India-focused organizations.

I am passionate about improving candidate experience, building diverse pipelines, and delivering actionable, data-driven insights that align talent strategies with business goals.
