Senior Talent Acquisition specialist with 5+ years driving recruitment and HR operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a strongly passionate Talent Acquisition specialist with 5+ years of experience, focused on delivering high-impact recruitment outcomes and dependable HR operations. I seek roles where I can contribute to organizational objectives while staying innovative, resourceful, and growth-minded.
At Wipro, I handle sourcing and recruitment processes through the Workday portal, while resolving queries within defined TAT and supporting smooth employee lifecycle operations. I record, track, and document all queries and resolution steps to improve consistency, problem-solving quality, and overall client outcomes.
Previously, as a Talent Acquisition Specialist, I screened and evaluated 5000+ resumes across managerial, senior, and junior roles, successfully filling about 90% of vacancies within 6 months. I worked closely with hiring managers and department heads, managed a team of 3–4 people, sourced via Naukri, Indeed, Times Jobs, Monster, LinkedIn, consultants, and social channels, and improved employee retention by 70% through performance and engagement initiatives.
I bring strong end-to-end HR and ATS/HRMS capabilities, including onboarding, induction, joining and exit processes, offer negotiations, and resolving employee HR grievances. I’ve worked with advanced ATS systems like Talent Pool, SpineHR, and Skills, and supported hiring across IT and Non-IT profiles (including Cloud, DevOps, Java/C++, QA, and web/mobile roles), plus earlier recruiter/HR roles that strengthened my stakeholder communication and compliance/payroll awareness.
