About

“I am convinced that nothing we do is more important than hiring and developing people. At the end of the day, you bet on people, not on strategies.”—Lawrence Bossidy. Please write to me at amit@therecruitingbox.com. 👋 Hey, thank you for visiting here. I have over 16 years of experience in talent acquisition, during which I have specialized in local and global hiring initiatives across India, Switzerland, Europe, South America, the Philippines, and the US. I enjoy solving complex problems such as tech sourcing, hiring strategies, campus hiring, candidate engagement, candidate experience, employer branding, and community building. I even created Ahmedabad Tech Community, a tech community with over 2.4K members, and have organized meetups on new tech stacks. Moreover, I have built talent acquisition strategies and processes to deliver technically and culturally fit talent, reduce the time-to-hire, and improve the joining ratio. As a consultant, I partner with small to mid-size SaaS product and service companies to support their talent acquisition functions.
