Akansha Bhandari — Operations Associate

I’m seeking a full-time, remote, or hybrid opportunity in the SF Bay Area, California, and am eligible to start immediately under my H4EAD visa. I am a people-focused professional with 6+ years of experience in Talent Acquisition, Customer Service, and Event Operations, working across corporate, startup, and on-ground brand environments. My career spans end-to-end recruitment, client and candidate management, and large-scale event execution, giving me a strong mix of HR strategy, stakeholder communication, and frontline customer engagement. In my previous roles at Magicbricks, LetsTransport, Uplers, Indiamart, and Vanator Technologies, I successfully managed full-cycle hiring across Sales, Tech, Product, Operations, and Digital Marketing roles, often within high-volume and fast-paced environments. Beyond recruitment, I have hands-on experience in event staffing and brand representation, working at Google I/O, LinkedIn Soccer, Meta Connect, Rakuten x 49ers, Outside Lands, Kaiser Permanente activations, and more. My responsibilities include registration & check-in, crowd management, product demos, on-site support, and hosting interactive experiences. I take pride in creating welcoming, high-energy environments that reflect the brand’s values. My strengths lie in relationship-building, adaptability, communication, and problem-solving. I am proficient in multiple ATS platforms (ICIMS, Bullhorn, JobDiva, Lever, Freshworks, etc.), job portals, Microsoft Office, and social media recruitment strategies. Whether hiring the right talent or representing a brand in person, I bring professionalism, ownership, and a positive attitude to every interaction. I thrive in dynamic, people-centered roles and am now looking for an opportunity where I can combine my recruitment expertise and event coordination skills to contribute to a scalable, mission-driven team
