About

Most hiring systems don’t fail all at once. They break quietly. Things slow down. Decisions vary across teams. What works in one region falls apart in another. Over time, hiring becomes inconsistent and hard to run. That’s the point where I step in. I build hiring systems that work across regions, not just plug gaps. Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked across India, North America, and LATAM, in environments where hiring lacked structure or couldn’t keep up. At Intelliswift, I led hiring across multiple regions and rebuilt how the system operated: • Delivered 200+ hires with ~95% plan fulfillment • Reduced time-to-fill by 15% • Improved recruiter productivity by 22% • Brought consistency to distributed teams I focus on fixing the system behind hiring, not just the outcomes. That means: • Workforce planning models teams can actually use • Pipelines built to convert, not just track candidates • Structured interviews with clear evaluation logic • Data used to drive speed and better decisions Most of my work sits in high-growth environments where hiring demand is high, but the system is either weak or missing. If hiring feels slow, inconsistent, or hard to manage across regions, the issue is usually the system behind it. Book a conversation if you want to fix that: cal.id/kumarsaurabh
