What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior full-time TA leadership role where I can own hiring strategy end-to-end, scale leadership/executive hiring, and drive measurable outcomes (time-to-hire, offer-to-join, diversity) with strong process, ATS, and analytics.

I’m a strategic senior talent acquisition leader with 14+ years across fintech, telecom, and high-growth startups, specializing in leadership hiring, executive search, and blitz-scale ramp-ups. I’ve consistently delivered 15–20 senior closures per quarter, with outcomes like 60% faster time-to-hire and a 94% offer-to-join ratio—while raising diversity representation to 40%.

From leveraging ATS rollouts and funnel redesign to building hiring frameworks, vendor strategies, and campus/volume pipelines, I design recruiting functions that scale with speed and rigor. Currently, I offer independent TA consulting to founders and HR leaders on TA audits, process redesign, leadership mandate closures, and HR analytics/MIS/ATS optimization, and I’ve been recognized as Paytm Hall of Fame (2023 & 2024) and Rockstar of the Year (2022).
