About

I am passionate about workplace culture and a strong believer in a people-first approach. Starting my career in Human Resources seemed like a mismatch at first given my B.E in Computer Science. However, I immediately recognised the opportunity it presented, to understand the most important asset of any organisation; the people. I was privileged to harness diverse views and opinions to create solutions that foster productivity. I am a Talent Acquisition, People Strategist and a hustler with over 6.5 years of experience in developing and driving initiatives for tech and non-tech recruiting. Demonstrated success in sourcing and assessing top talent across the globe for a wide range of fast-paced tech startups in SaaS, Chat products, e-commerce, Fintech and Co-working industries. I am excited about candidate engagement and believe it is the key tool to excel in Recruitment. I hunt great minds with the help of LinkedIn, proactive candidate research, Git Hub, Twitter, and About.me, Dribble, Behance, Angel list, Indeed, HiringSolved, TalentBin, Stackoverflow, Passive searches, Google X-ray, social network, Meet up, the social media community, SourceCon, Google+, blogs, ofcourse, the network and the list continues. You just need the right tool, the right information, and the right brains!!! At the end of the day, my job involves people. We're complicated, we're always changing, we have millions of things going on in our lives, and changing jobs is ALWAYS a big decision. As a developer turned Talent Acquisition professional, enabling top talent globally to find the right challenges at products they strive to work for. I love coaching and mentoring my team! Thrives on responsibility and challenge. In my free time you might find me: hiking, eating hot pot, doodling, listening to podcasts, playing video games or tabletop games with friends! Hit me up if you want to be a part of an incredible team @Entrupy
