Daphney Linda Rann — Recruiter

Close to 7 years of hands-on experience in the dynamic world of Luxury Retail, Fashion, e-commerce, IT, Digital, BFSI, Automotive, Aerospace, Medical, and Media across UAE, KSA, India & Germany. Born and raised in the vibrant vibes of India, a dedicated professional juggling exciting corporate roles and a parent to a delightful one-year-old bundle of joy. Currently riding the career wave at Seddiqi, I start my day with a cup of Karak and get a kick out of conducting initial screenings to ensure the perfect match, maintaining a steady flow of pipeline for Corporate gigs, releasing draft offers, gathering pre-employment documentation, and conducting reference checks to kickstart seamless onboarding processes. I'm all about utilizing social media channels like LinkedIn for effective candidate cultivation and staying ahead of the curve through market research to identify top-tier talent. My skill extend to in-depth market mapping and producing comprehensive recruitment analysis reports that shed light on recruitment status and industry benchmarks, especially when dealing with niche roles. And when I'm not busy with paperwork, you can find me coordinating interviews, validating assessments, updating databases, working closely with internal stakeholders, and making sure everything runs like a well-oiled machine from job posting to closure.
