Ankit Kumar Shukla — Talent Acquisition Manager
I hire the people who build the AI that’s probably going to replace us all. (Kidding. Mostly.) I’m a Talent Acquisition leader with 11 years of global experience hiring across AI, Data Engineering, Analytics, Cloud, and Digital—spanning India, North America, and the UK. Currently driving end-to-end hiring for high-growth AI consulting teams, supporting fast-moving, client-facing delivery programs. I’ve led and scaled recruitment teams (10–15 recruiters), partnered with global giants across banking and big tech, and built strong pipelines for AI & Data roles—from Data Engineers to GenAI and AI Platform talent. I combine strategy with sleeves-rolled-up execution: • AI-enabled sourcing & smarter screening • Data-driven hiring decisions • Structured technical assessments beyond the résumé • Strong ATS & recruitment ops governance I thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and believe hiring great AI talent still requires very human judgment. Let’s connect—before the bots start networking for us.
