What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote-ready talent acquisition work where I can own full-cycle recruiting for IT and Non-IT roles, use Greenhouse/Zoho and AI sourcing, collaborate with global stakeholders, and grow through measurable hiring outcomes.

I’m an accomplished Talent Acquisition Specialist with 6.5+ years of experience driving end-to-end recruitment across IT and Non-IT domains, including SaaS, FinTech, and B2B technology sectors. I own full-cycle hiring—from talent sourcing and structured screening to offer negotiation, onboarding, and post-join engagement—while managing 20–30 concurrent requisitions.

In my roles, I’ve strengthened recruiting outcomes through ATS management (Greenhouse, Zoho Recruit) and AI-powered workflows. I use LinkedIn AI Talent Recommendations, Naukri Resdex, and ChatGPT for advanced Boolean search, smart matching, and personalized outreach, helping reduce manual sourcing time by ~30% and improving offer-to-join conversion.

I also bring cross-border hiring experience across US, UK, and APAC markets, with remote-ready operations and flexible time-zone overlap. I’ve led and mentored teams of 6–7 recruiters, improved pipeline stages and data accuracy, and supported employer branding through targeted job marketing across LinkedIn, Naukri, and Instagram.
