Sakshi Nigam — Co-Founder

I’ve spent the last 5+ years helping startups and scaling teams hire when it actually matters, during inflection points, rapid growth, and high-stakes leadership decisions. My work sits at the intersection of speed, judgment, and long-term team quality. From building a Customer Success function from zero to 20 in 60 days, to closing senior leadership and niche engineering roles in under a month, I focus on hiring that moves the business forward, not just filling seats. I’m often brought in when roles are still taking shape, expectations are evolving, and the cost of a wrong hire is high. I work as a strategic talent partner to founders and business leaders questioning assumptions, mapping talent markets, and designing hiring approaches that fit the stage of the company. My experience spans full-cycle recruiting, outbound and passive talent engagement, leadership hiring, and scaling specialised teams across India, ANZ, and offshore markets. I care deeply about candidate experience because it directly affects hiring outcomes — from offer acceptance to employer reputation. Beyond closing roles, I enjoy building referral programs, interview frameworks, onboarding playbooks, and employer branding. If you’re building a team at a pivotal stage, rethinking how hiring decisions are made, or want a more thoughtful approach to talent — happy to connect.
