About

As a Lead Executive Recruiter at Target, I am responsible for identifying and filling hard to fill roles in Data Sciences, a team that builds, governs, and maximizes the use of Target's data assets for elevated decision-making across our retail operations. I partner with hiring managers, data scientists, and engineers to understand their needs, source and screen qualified candidates, and provide a great candidate experience throughout the hiring process. I also manage the on-boarding and retention of new hires, ensuring a smooth transition and integration into the team and the organization. With a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and over 9 years of progressive experience in talent acquisition, I have developed a strong domain expertise and a keen eye for talent in IT, Engineering, and Operations across startups, product-based, and e-commerce companies. I have successfully filled multiple roles in these domains, ranging from junior to senior levels, with diverse and high-performing candidates. I enjoy using social media and online platforms to build a strong brand presence and a community of smart professionals, as well as to engage and attract potential talent. I am passionate about recruitment as a way to empower people and organizations to achieve their goals and aspirations.

At Target, we have a timeless purpose and a proven strategy. And that hasn’t happened by accident. Some of the best minds from diverse backgrounds come together at Target to redefine retail in an inclusive learning environment that values people and delivers world-class outcomes.
That winning formula is especially apparent in Bengaluru, where Target operates one of the most advanced Global Capabilities Centers in the industry. Nearly every aspect of Target’s business is represented in Bengaluru, and a strong connection to HQ means ideas and results flow seamlessly across the globe. The India team works of some of Target’s most important strategies – things like AI, machine learning, in-house engineering, data science strategies, computer generated imagery and much more. The team is also building the technology infrastructure that enables new ways for guests to shop: Order Pickup, Drive Up, 2-Day shipping and orders delivered by Shipt™.
Bengaluru’s influence on the business isn’t limited to technology. It includes marketers, architects, designers, writers, videographers, as well as experts in supply chain, HR, finance and many other areas. Innovation and inspiration are at the heart of everything we do, from our mature Target Accelerator Program to our one-of-a-kind internal Guest Experience Center. With a high-performing ecosystem that mirrors our U.S headquarters, Target in India is uniquely positioned to solve important business problems for Target, and the retail industry.
Finally, we believe that everyone should work someplace they love. We’re a company that gives back to our community; and we’ve been recognized as a top employer in India. We offer the stability of growth in a mature organization, the pride of a much-loved brand, and the agility and excitement of a fast-paced innovative culture.
