Samta Katiyar — Co-Founder
Emerging Talent Recruiting (Previously University Recruiting) professional with over 15 years of experience. I wear a dual hat, managing two important roles. Firstly, as a Leader for Emerging Talent Recruiting in India. Additionally, I work as a Recruiting Business Partner (RBP) for Engineering Business in APJC. In my role, I oversee all aspects of university recruitment, from engagement and branding to hiring strategy, onboarding, and the strategic development of programs aimed at nurturing a robust talent pipeline. Beyond the traditional responsibilities of hiring, I am committed to nurturing my team into well-rounded professionals, ensuring regular communication, understanding their strengths and aspirations to align them with larger Cisco goals. My expertise shines in areas of innovation and process improvement, particularly in branding strategy and a go-to-market approach. I ensure that university recruiting efforts not only meet immediate hiring needs but also strategically position Cisco as an employer of choice, increasing brand awareness. My love for interacting with diverse stakeholders, including business leaders, university professors, and students, drives my everyday interactions. Planning and executing large scale programs and events energize me. Outside of work, I indulge in my passions for travel, food, and connecting with people. As the ETR Lead for India, I feel fortunate to be pursuing my passions and making a meaningful impact in my field. Connect with me on other social platform: Instagram - @InspiredLink.
