Akhilesh Nair 🌴 — Head of Talent
Who am I? Indian recruiter and sourcing nerd with lots of conviction. Currently working as a Talent Lead among the amazing team @Locad University background in Business School. Major in HR. I wasn't meant to become a recruiter and still. I'll always remember what made me tick with sourcing: I went to my first hiring conference (#talentinsights) Listening to a captivating narrative by Isabelle Beaumont, they recounted sourcing for a bespoke project involving a rare skill set for a luxury fragrance brand. The challenge of finding a needle in a haystack, where only a handful of individuals globally possessed the requisite expertise, left a lasting imprint on me. After the talk, I eagerly posed the question, "How did you uncover the perfect match for such a unique role?" Their response painted a vivid picture of the excitement and satisfaction derived from the process. This is the exact moment that convinced me to choose this recruiter job that I’ll love, so I will never have to work a day in my life - thanks for the tip, Confucius 🙌 💌 Let's get in touch I'm a fan of everything related to sourcing, hiring, team experience, growth, marketing… most of all I really enjoy discussing with passionate people. I could discuss all this for days, so please don’t hesitate to ping me and let's chat over a chai-☕
