Abhisha Kalra — Recruiter
I’m a technology enthusiast and a recruiter by choice. Most recently, I served as a Talent Acquisition Partner at Adobe, where I connected diverse and talented candidates with exciting opportunities across AI, ML, Data Science, and Cloud Solutions. Prior to that, I contributed to talent acquisition at other high-growth organizations including Coinbase, Thoughtworks, and Publicis.Sapient. With over 10 years of experience across IT, non-IT, and leadership hiring, I have managed recruitment across various domains and geographies—including product engineering, software R&D, IT projects, and marketing. I have successfully hired talent in multiple countries such as Singapore, Australia, Japan, and India. Additionally, I have led and mentored teams of recruiters and coordinators, overseeing recruitment drives, online assessments, and interview processes. During my tenure at Adobe, I honed hands-on sourcing skills using platforms like LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack Overflow, and advanced X-ray searches. I spearheaded initiatives focused on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I), sourcing hackathons, recruitment playbooks, and knowledge-sharing webinars (see #twrecruited). I hold AIRS Certified Internet Recruiter credentials, a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, and a Master’s in Human Resources Management. My core competencies include Talent Acquisition, Talent Advisory, Project Management, and Team Leadership. Having recently relocated to Canada, I am actively transitioning into a new professional environment with a global perspective. While my expertise remains deeply rooted in tech hiring, stakeholder engagement, and inclusive talent strategies, I am open to exploring adjacent opportunities in HR Tech, Customer Success, and product-focused roles where people and technology intersect.
