What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities in talent acquisition.

I am a strategic and hands-on HR & Talent Acquisition professional with extensive experience in tech hiring, particularly in high-frequency trading environments. As the sole Talent Acquisition partner at a fast-growing HFT firm, I successfully closed over 35 specialized roles across software engineering, infrastructure, quantitative research, and operations. My ability to thrive in high-performance, high-stakes environments has allowed me to build recruitment processes and employer branding initiatives from the ground up, ensuring a seamless candidate experience.

In my current role as Program Manager at Zanskar Research LLP, I have been promoted twice within a year due to my impactful contributions to talent strategy and recruitment operations. I spearhead hiring programs, develop structured interview processes, and own employer branding strategies that have driven a 40% increase in inbound applications. My collaborative approach with leadership on headcount planning and hiring prioritization has been pivotal in scaling teams while building long-term, scalable talent systems.
