About

Talent Acquisition Leader | IT & Leadership Hiring Expert | Global Recruitment Strategy | Recruitment Automation With over 13+ years of experience in talent acquisition, I specialize in building strong, scalable hiring strategies across IT, digital, engineering, and leadership roles. I’ve led end-to-end recruitment for global projects like NEOM (Saudi Arabia), and worked closely with stakeholders across India, the Middle East, US & Europe to deliver on high-impact hiring needs. I’ve managed and mentored recruitment teams, driven diversity hiring initiatives, and worked hands-on with leadership hiring (VPs, Directors, Practice Heads) across industries like tech, oil & gas, BFSI, and consulting. Whether it’s driving volume hiring or closing niche tech roles in AI, cybersecurity, or cloud, I’m passionate about aligning talent goals with business outcomes. I’m familiar with a wide range of recruitment tools and platforms (ATS like JobDiva, Ceipal, Oracle PeopleSoft; VMS like SAP Fieldglass and Beeline), and I always focus on improving the candidate experience, reducing time-to-hire, and building strong employer branding.
