What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead technical hiring for AI and engineering teams, partner with founders/C-suite, scale 0→1 orgs, and use advanced sourcing and data-driven hiring to improve velocity and quality.

I am a results-driven technical recruiter with 5+ years building engineering and product teams across India, focused on AI/ML, platform engineering, backend, DevOps, and product roles. I excel in full-cycle recruiting, sourcing passive talent, and partnering with leadership to define hiring success criteria.

At interface.ai I built core product and engineering orgs from scratch, closed high-difficulty roles including AI-first staff engineers and platform specialists, and improved hiring velocity by 30%+ through structured evaluation rubrics and calibrated interview loops. I have been recognized as Best Performer twice and awarded the Hiring Genie Award by Instahyre (2025) for impactful delivery.

I leverage advanced Boolean and X-ray searches, talent intelligence, AI-driven sourcing tools, and market mapping to elevate pipeline quality and candidate engagement. I am consultative with candidates and stakeholders, maintain high offer acceptance rates, and build sustainable talent networks for long-term scaling.
