Talent acquisition professional at Covenant Consultants handling energy-sector recruitment for Power, Oil & Gas, and Petrochemical clients.
What I'm looking for
At Covenant Consultants, I handled internal recruitment and client requirements across Power, Oil & Gas, and Petrochemical, including offshore requirements for L&T Hydrocarbons, SBM Offshore, Saipem, and Sidvin CoreTech. I sourced candidates through Naukri, LinkedIn, employee referrals, and vendors, and negotiated salaries and offers.
At Quest Global, I handled large-scale recruitment for Power, Oil & Gas, and Petrochemical requirements. I worked across the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle, including stakeholder management and employee referral campaigns, and used AI tools and ChatGPT for screening and interviewing candidates.
At A-Star testing & Inspection Pvt Ltd, I recruited for Oil & Gas customers and contributed to direct sourcing and talent engagement through social media, referrals, databases, and job portals. I also scheduled interviews and conducted preliminary applicant screening.
Across my career, I’ve supported energy and other industry hiring, including overseas requirements, and handled onshore and offshore recruitment. I’ve also reduced reliance on recruitment partners through a self-sourcing model and contributed to maintaining a ready candidate pool.
