About

As the founder of Skill IQ, I empower talent acquisition leaders to eliminate guesswork from hiring. Skill IQ automates interviews, analyzing both functional and behavioral skills. In short, Skill IQ ensures you spend time on the right candidates—interview 3, not 30. Whether you’re hiring for volume roles or niche positions, Skill IQ offers adaptive, human-like interviews that match candidates with your unique company culture job role requirements. Before launching Skill IQ, I built training and placement programs in BFSI and tech with a pay-after-placement model (yes, results first!). My career began in financial services, spanning customer experience, product management, and marketing. I’ve leveraged my expertise in building customer-centric products to shape Skill IQ. Our platform delivers a seamless experience for both candidates and HR professionals, effectively addressing real business challenges while reducing costs and streamlining talent management processes. Let’s connect and explore how we can work together to elevate your hiring strategy. #AIinRecruitment #TalentAcquisition #FutureofWork #HRTech
