I'm an experienced Technical Talent Partner, with a specialized focus on AI and technology recruitment. Having spent over 10 years in the industry, I've honed my skills in full cycle recruitment, from campus to executive hiring, and have managed successful recruitment events.

My expertise lies in understanding the unique needs of both businesses and individuals. I've helped startups like Myntra and BetterU, as well as larger companies like Edelweiss find their perfect matches. From Head of Engineering to IT Infrastructure experts, I've placed over 300 hires across four countries.

I've built strong relationships with C-level executives and developed innovative social media strategies to attract top talent. My efforts have resulted in a 43% diversity hire rate and a 97% closure rate. My ability to utilize applicant tracking systems efficiently has been recognized by my peers who I've trained to use these tools effectively.

Additionally, I am a social media expert with a knack for creating engaging content that resonates with potential candidates. I’ve increased LinkedIn page followers by over 500% in two years, grown Twitter impressions by 3000%, and have one of the top viewed profiles on LinkedIn.

But beyond numbers, what truly sets me apart is my people-first approach. I believe in empowering individuals to present the best version of themselves, helping them craft their unique career narratives. It's this approach that led me to be recognized among the Top 50 Career Strategists in North America.
