Srividya Balabadra

I’m a technical recruitment professional with 6.4 years of experience in end-to-end IT hiring across product and IT services organizations. My focus is on sourcing, technical screening, candidate assessment, and delivering strong hiring outcomes for both individual contributors and leadership roles.

In my recent role, I managed the complete recruitment lifecycle for technical and leadership hiring, including stakeholder management, interview coordination, offer negotiation, onboarding, and candidate engagement. I delivered 40+ technology requisitions annually with a 95% closure success rate, while building talent pipelines for niche technology roles and reducing turnaround time through proactive sourcing.

I partner closely with stakeholders and clients to understand workforce requirements and translate them into an effective recruitment strategy. I also track recruitment pipelines and share hiring progress through periodic reports, supporting data-informed decisions with recruitment metrics and dashboards.

My ATS and sourcing toolkit includes Workday, iCIMS, Greenhouse, Taleo, SAP SuccessFactors, LinkedIn Recruiter, and Naukri Recruiter, along with Boolean search and X-Ray search. Over time, I’ve supported hiring across domains such as Software Engineering, Cloud, DevOps, Data Engineering, AI/ML, Cybersecurity, and infrastructure/security roles, and I’ve mentored junior recruiters on sourcing and best practices.
