About

As a Lead Recruiter , I leverage my 9+ years of global HR experience and IT recruitment expertise to source, screen, and hire top talent for various domains, including IT, Banking , Digital, Infrastructure, and Pharma. I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality candidates for niche skills and low-cost channels, such as job portals and LinkedIn. I also have strong sales and management skills, as I have worked in the staffing and recruiting industry and the outsourcing/offshoring industry, where I developed business relationships, managed customer accounts, and used databases and analytics tools to optimize the recruitment process. I have successfully conducted mass off-campus drives for entry-level hiring, as well as negotiated and networked with associates at all levels. My goal is to provide the best talent solutions for clients, while enhancing my own professional growth and learning.
