Summary
A Talent Acquisition professional with experience in developing and executing recruiting plans. Experience in managing all phases of full-cycle recruiting for E-commerce, Foodtech, and Fintech, from initial sourcing and screening through offer negotiations, campus recruitment and onboarding. Creatively source high-calibre candidates by leveraging recruiting software, social media, cold calling and employee referrals. I love to give a good candidate experience by providing the required information on the tech stack/JD etc. Provide feedback for an interview, negotiate hard for candidates/hiring managers to come to an optimal solution and much more. My idea is to connect the right candidate with the right job at the right time. I love to understand the candidates' skill sets, interests, and projects and connect them with the relevant teams here.
