@purnimapareek
HR leader specializing in end-to-end hiring and HR operations for high-growth, distributed teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m an HR Generalist with 5+ years of experience across high-growth startups, with sole ownership of end-to-end HR spanning recruiting (40%) and HR operations (60%) for distributed teams. I partner directly with founders and leadership on workforce planning and hiring strategy, driving clarity, speed, and stronger offer-to-join outcomes.
In my current role, I built and optimized HR operations for 120+ employees, ensuring 100% payroll accuracy, statutory compliance, and audit readiness. I streamlined payroll, onboarding, and policies—improving process efficiency by 25%—and established robust HR policies, SOPs, and governance frameworks with 100% POSH compliance and zero reported cases over 4 years.
I also lead people analytics and reporting through MIS dashboards and HR analytics to enable faster decision-making cycles (20% improvement). My hiring ownership covers full-cycle recruitment, closing 15–20 roles annually across tech and business functions, while using passive pipeline strategies via LinkedIn/Naukri to reduce time-to-hire by 30%.
Across onboarding, engagement, and HR analytics initiatives, I improved early retention by 20% and consistently raise the bar on candidate experience—driving offer acceptance to 85%+ through structured engagement, negotiation, and stakeholder partnership.
