At KEC International, I partner with HODs on recruitment strategies aligned with project needs and manpower budgets. I recruit for critical and high-volume roles across Infrastructure, Engineering, and Corporate functions.

I also map people released from completed projects to new mandates, helping optimize bench strength and reduce external hiring costs. I maintain recruitment dashboards and Excel reports on hiring velocity, aging, and cost-per-hire.

At Blenheim Chalcot, I optimized recruitment workflows and analyzed talent acquisition metrics and market trends to inform hiring decisions. I also developed sourcing strategies using LinkedIn Recruiter and Naukri.

At L&T Technology Services, I recruited across IT and Engineering, including Java, PLM, Designing, and Mechanical Engineering roles. Earlier, at Collabera Technologies, I worked on consultant document verification, background checks, and compliance reporting.
