What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic organization that values growth and innovation, where I can leverage my HR expertise to enhance talent acquisition and employee engagement.

I am an HR Executive with over four years of experience specializing in Talent Acquisition, HR operations, and employee engagement. My career has been marked by a proven track record of sourcing quality candidates and managing end-to-end recruitment processes across multiple countries, including Singapore, Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, and the Philippines. I am passionate about creating efficient hiring pipelines that contribute to organizational growth.

Currently, I manage HR operations at YM Global Technologies, where I oversee employee onboarding, payroll, and compliance. My role involves cross-border IT recruitment and workforce planning, ensuring cost-effective hiring solutions. Previously, I worked at Manpower Sri Lanka, where I led recruitment processes for local and international clients, particularly in the IT sector, and successfully brought in new clients within my first months. My academic background includes a BBA (Hon) specializing in Human Capital Management from the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology, where I also received a best paper award for my research on HR Information Systems.
