What I'm looking for

I’m available immediately for global or domestic talent acquisition—remote or Delhi NCR—where I can own end-to-end hiring, market mapping, and leadership-level recruitment. I’m open to corporate, startup, RPO, and consulting roles.

I’m a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist with 8+ years of end-to-end global and domestic recruitment experience across SaaS, Engineering, BIM, Construction, Insurance, and Sales. I specialize in building teams from scratch and scaling recruitment to meet fast-moving business needs.

My track record includes a post-COVID full sales team rebuild for Pan-India operations and successfully placing 17 local Singaporean BIM professionals in a highly competitive market. I also recruit senior and leadership talent up to Director and VP levels across India, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, UK, UAE, and Africa.

I’m known for strong market mapping, talent pipelining, and stakeholder management—running high-volume, project-based, and ramp-up hiring with programmatic, engineering, and sales-focused hiring models. I bring deep expertise across workforce planning and market intelligence to keep pipelines healthy and hiring outcomes consistent.

I’ve worked with ATS and HR systems including Workday, Taleo, and Darwinbox, and I leverage platforms like LinkedIn Recruiter and Naukri RMS along with advanced Boolean search. I’m available immediately for Global or Domestic TA roles—remote or Delhi NCR—and I’m open to corporate, startup, RPO, and consulting environments.
