@shivapriyaspillai

Tech-enabled talent acquisition leader specializing in data, AI and DEI hiring.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a tech-enabled recruiting role where I can own end-to-end hiring, use data-driven sourcing (SQL/Python-informed evaluation), and deliver strong DEI outcomes with stakeholder partnership—while driving promise metrics like time-to-fill and candidate experience.

I’m a results-driven Talent Acquisition professional with 6+ years of full lifecycle recruiting experience, specializing in data analytics, Business Intelligence, Prompt Engineering, Product Analyst, Business Analyst, Risk Analyst, Technical Writer, and AI Designer roles.

I partner closely with stakeholders to translate business needs into targeted hiring strategies, and I’m known for driving measurable outcomes—reducing time-to-fill by 20–27% and improving offer acceptance through proactive engagement and market insights.

At Amazon, I led end-to-end recruitment for Data & Analytics and emerging tech roles (BIE, Data Engineers, Prompt Engineers, Product & Business Analysts). I evaluated candidates on SQL, Python, data modeling, and ETL pipelines, while building structured interview frameworks and calibrating candidate profiles with hiring managers and technical stakeholders.

I also strengthen the full recruiting system: ATS optimization, sourcing strategy, diversity hiring (DEI), and candidate experience enhancements. I’ve owned Promise Metrics #2 (Candidate Experience) and #5 (Hiring Efficiency), delivered 100% positive response rate, achieved 0% negative response rate, and led diverse hiring initiatives including PWD and Women Return ship, with successful conversion.
