@shivipandey
Executive SaaS recruiter specializing in full-cycle technical, AI, and GTM talent acquisition across APAC.
What I'm looking for
I’m a seasoned executive and SaaS recruiter with over 10 years of APAC experience, specializing in full-cycle recruitment for Technical, AI, GTM, and G&A functions. I bring a stakeholder-focused approach to scaling high-performing talent operations using ATS platforms, AI-driven tools, and data-driven hiring strategies.
At Zendesk, I led a high-intensity, full-cycle recruitment sprint to establish APAC hubs in Pune, Singapore, and Australia, delivering 120+ hires across executive, corporate, and technical roles. I partnered with stakeholders to optimize hiring strategy and execution across areas like Python, cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), serverless, SaaS, DevOps, and SRE/QA, strengthening pipelines with ATS and AI-powered candidate sourcing.
Previously at Meta, I owned sourcing strategy and stakeholder management, building a diverse pipeline of 200+ candidates and improving hiring efficiency by 40% through AI-driven sourcing and pre-screening. Earlier, at Randstad Sourceright, I filled 200+ roles across APAC and Japan—lifting candidate response rates by 40%, maintaining an 85% offer acceptance rate, and reducing time-to-fill from 60 to 35 days.
