Amal Patankar — Recruiter
I’m a Senior Technical Recruiter at Uber, focused on building and scaling high-impact engineering and product teams across EMEA, teams that power platforms used by millions every day. My career journey is unconventional and intentional. I started as an attorney in India, transitioned into recruiting for Sales & Operations, and now specialize in technical hiring. This path gives me a unique perspective: I bring analytical rigor, structured decision-making, and a deeply human approach to recruiting. At Uber, I partner closely with hiring managers and candidates end-to-end from shaping hiring strategies and sourcing world-class talent to ensuring a transparent, respectful, and engaging candidate experience. I’ve worked across diverse EMEA markets, navigating local nuances while building scalable, sustainable talent pipelines for complex technical roles. What drives me most is impact: • Turning ambiguity into clarity • Coaching candidates through high-stakes career decisions • Helping teams hire not just for today, but for long-term success I’m energized by curiosity, creativity, and tenacity and I genuinely enjoy the challenge of turning a “no” into a “yes.” Beyond day-to-day recruiting, I’m deeply invested in candidate experience, inclusive hiring, employer branding, and storytelling, and in continuously learning from the people I work with. I enjoy exchanging perspectives with recruiters and talent leaders across industries on technical hiring, leadership, scaling teams, and what the future of work looks like in practice. **Note on roles at Uber** Due to a high volume of messages, I may not always be able to respond on LinkedIn.
