Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist driving data-driven technical hiring and diverse pipelines that cut time-to-fill.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist with 10+ years of full-cycle recruiting across IT and engineering domains. I own intake through onboarding, consistently achieving sub-30-day average time-to-fill, and I partner directly with Delivery leads and Hiring Managers to align talent strategy with business roadmaps.
I build robust, data-driven sourcing pipelines for Full-Stack/Backend/Frontend, Cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), DevOps/SRE, Data Engineering & Science, and AI/ML roles—leveraging LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean/X-Ray search, and AI recruiting tools. Using EightFold AI and SAP SuccessFactors, I reduce manual screening time by ~40%, drive 30%+ women representation in tech shortlists, manage vendor spend via SmartTrack VMS, and mentor junior recruiters with best-practice playbooks.
