About

I’m a performance-focused Talent Acquisition Specialist with close to 4 years of experience connecting exceptional IT professionals with leading organisations. My expertise spans the full recruitment life-cycle—sourcing, screening, and on-boarding top-tier technical talent across diverse domains. I bring strong proficiency in negotiation, visa processes, tax compliance, and state-specific pay structures, enabling me to navigate complex hiring landscapes with precision. By blending strategic sourcing techniques with deep market insight, I deliver tailored talent solutions that drive business success and long-term partnerships. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with top organisations like Infinity Stamford Technology Solutions and Lance Soft Inc., where I honed my expertise in IT recruitment across both US and Canadian markets. At Lance Soft Inc., I specialised in managing direct and state client requirements, gaining hands-on experience with diverse roles and compliance standards. This exposure has strengthened my ability to navigate state-specific laws, salary structures, and labor regulations—ensuring strategic, compliant, and result-driven hiring solutions.
