About

For 33 years, I have had a ringside view of one of the most consequential decisions a professional can make. Coming home. I am an Executive Search consultant and career transition specialist. I work with two groups of people. -Senior NRI professionals who want to return to India -Companies that want to hire global talent without losing them in six months. The work sounds straightforward. It rarely is. Most NRI transitions fail not because of skills, but because of perceptions, positioning, and conversations that never happen. I fix that. ► WHAT I DO: I place senior professionals of Indian origin, returning from the US, UK, Singapore, UAE and beyond, into leadership roles in India's fastest-growing companies. I also advise MNCs and startups on building cross-border leadership teams. ► HOW I DO IT: Through a network of 5000+ companies and 550 recruitment partners across 51 countries, built over 3 decades. I do not just match CVs to job descriptions. I match careers to contexts. ► WHY IT WORKS: I have spent 40 years inside hiring rooms on both sides of the table.I know what Indian companies fear about NRI hires, and what NRI candidates consistently underestimate about coming home. That knowledge is the gap I close. ► WORK WITH ME. Executive Search mandates. Options Executive Search Private Limited.

Recruitloop

Talent Consultant

Sep 2015Nov 2019 · 4 yrs 2 mos · Hyderabad Area, India

  • RecruitLoop provided employers a smarter way to hire through technology and services that slash the cost and time it takes to find new staff.
  • The model consisted of two primary components:
  • 1: Recruitment marketplace: A global network of independent recruitment professionals charging employers an hourly rate instead of a percentage based on a candidate's salary.
  • RecruitLoop aggregated a network of independent, professional recruiters who help employers find new staff. This gave employers access to professional recruitment support, with a charging model providing 80% lower cost than a traditional recruitment agency.
  • 2: Recorded video interview platform: A game-changing innovation in the recruitment process.
  • RecruitLoop has developed a technology for recorded video interviews. This was not a ‘live’ video-capability like Skype, but an automated one that recorded candidate responses to customised written questions via their webcam. This innovation removed hours from the screening process for both employers and recruiters.
