@sangeetalund
Recruitment leader at Professa Consulting Group who improved hiring volumes 69% and cut cost-per-hire 20% at Millward Brown.
What I'm looking for
At Professa Consulting Group, I advise on people strategy, talent and HR transformation in the People & Organisation practice, on a flexible contractor basis across the EU and GCC. I’m London-based and available immediately.
At Frost & Sullivan, I set up the in-house search function across 36 offices, covering early careers, executive search and contingent hiring. Recruitment efficiency rose 40% and turnaround time fell 25%.
At Millward Brown (Kantar), I redesigned recruitment as the business grew: hiring volumes rose 69%, cost-per-hire fell 20%, and time-to-fill fell 25%. I also headhunted the entire team for a greenfield office in Bangladesh, including the Country Head, at zero cost.
At FIS Global, I ran recruitment and onboarding as headcount grew 233% through direct hiring, and led the people side of a post-merger integration. I’ve also led HR and recruiting teams of 30 at FIS and 35 at Frost & Sullivan, and hired IT and non-IT talent across India, the Philippines, Bangladesh and 36 offices worldwide.
