RECRUITER FOR THE EASTERN EUROPE HIRING TEAM

Jun 2017May 2018 · 11 mos · Pune, Maharashtra, India

  • My tenure as a recruiter in the Eastern Europe Hiring Team included responsibilities such as sourcing fresh candidates for various technical and customer service roles, vendor management, salary negotiation, stakeholder management and candidate engagement. It is probably the most challenging role that I had undertaken with Wipro as they were many challenges that I had to face on a daily basis. Some of them were communication gap, cultural differences, resistance from the candidates to engage with a person from an Asian country/unknown company and work culture and legal differences. It was an immensely educating experience though, and it gave me a broader and more wholesome vision and understanding of recruitment and it’s various intricacies.
