Arul Krishna — Recruiter

Execution-focused HR professional with 3+ years of hands-on experience managing end-to-end people operations in fast-paced startups. I specialize in making HR processes work seamlessly executing recruitment, onboarding, payroll inputs, compliance, and engagement activities with precision, speed, and empathy. I’ve owned and executed every stage of the employee lifecycle from sourcing and closing candidates to onboarding, documentation, and engagement. I believe in building HR systems that not only run efficiently but also create a meaningful employee experience. At Dream Game Studios (part of the Dream11 Group), I’ve successfully managed onboarding for 30+ employees, reduced pre-boarding time by a full day through workflow redesign, and improved new-hire experience ratings from 3.3 to 4.5 out of 5. Recruitment and onboarding are areas I take pride in. I’ve closed 19+ positions across Tech, Product, and Design, implemented post-offer engagement programs that reduced drop-offs, and helped hiring managers make data-backed decisions using recruitment dashboards and open position frameworks. I believe clarity and preparation at the hiring stage set the tone for an employee’s long-term success. Beyond hiring, I’ve executed payroll input verification, maintained 98% HRIS accuracy, and supported compliance documentation (PF, ESIC, gratuity) to ensure audit readiness. I’ve built and managed Excel-based dashboards for attendance, attrition, and engagement reporting turning raw data into actionable people insights. I also created and maintain our internal HR Notion Wiki, centralizing policies and SOPs for easier access and transparency. I’m deeply invested in building culture and engagement. From launching “Team Wins” and “Gupshup with CEO” townhalls to organizing team retreats, recognition programs, and onboarding connects, I enjoy creating spaces where people feel connected and valued. My quarterly 1:1 connects with employees help surface real issues early, fostering trust and reducing attrition risk. I’m known for being structured, dependable, and process-driven — someone who loves bringing order to chaos, connecting data with people, and finding practical solutions that make HR both efficient and human.
