What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead talent acquisition for high-growth teams—owning end-to-end hiring, improving hiring SLAs and offer-to-join, scaling recruitment delivery centres, and building recruiter capability while delivering a strong candidate experience.

I’m a Strategic and results-driven Talent Acquisition Lead with 16+ years of experience delivering large-scale hiring solutions across IT, BFSI, Retail, Logistics, and Global Enterprise Accounts. I lead end-to-end talent acquisition strategies, workforce planning, stakeholder management, and niche technology hiring across India & APAC—consistently strengthening recruitment functions that support business growth.

Over my career, I’ve built, trained, and mentored high-performing recruitment teams, improving hiring SLAs by 40% and accelerating closures for critical roles. I’ve successfully hired 1200+ technology and leadership professionals, improved offer-to-join ratio by 60% through strategic candidate engagement and pre-boarding, and driven regional hiring strategies to scale multiple delivery centres—using data-driven insights from recruitment analytics and ATS operations.
