About

🌍 Global Talent Sourcer @ Adobe | Building Teams Across Borders Hi, I'm Sonika — a passionate Talent Acquisition professional with 6+ years of experience in identifying, engaging, and hiring world-class talent. At Adobe, I specialize in sourcing top-tier candidates across Sales, Tech, and Design roles globally, with a focus on US, EMEA, and India markets. I thrive on the thrill of the hunt—whether it's building proactive pipelines, generating deep market intelligence, or mapping out complex org structures to uncover hidden gems. Tools like X-Ray Search, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub and Findem are my everyday playground. 💡 What drives me? Precision, people, and partnerships. I believe great sourcing is more than filling roles—it's about solving problems, anticipating needs, and creating experiences that candidates remember. I'm also a strong advocate for collaboration, candidate experience, and continuous learning. Whether it's diving into a niche role or partnering with cross-functional teams, I bring agility, curiosity, and energy to every search. Let’s connect if you’re: ✅ Exploring a career at Adobe ✅ A fellow sourcer or recruiter sharing insights ✅ Just someone who loves good hiring stories
