Transformed my technical roots into a passion for connecting talent.
I began my career as a Software Test Engineer but soon realised it wasn’t my true calling. Pursuing my passion, I completed a Master’s in HRM and embarked on my recruitment journey—a field I discovered I truly love. Over the past 12+ years, I’ve specialized in tech hiring, building and scaling teams, and solving complex hiring challenges. I am deeply passionate about connecting talent with opportunities and driving business success through strategic hiring. Every step of my career has been driven by my commitment to creating meaningful impacts for organizations and individuals alike, while constantly evolving as a leader in talent acquisition.
Talent Acquisition Lead
At Procore, I had the opportunity to build the India team from the ground up, blending strategic planning, mentorship, and hands-on execution. This experience has been both rewarding and transformative, allowing me to make a tangible impact on the organization's growth. In my role, I oversee a wide array of responsibilities, including end-to-end recruitment, team leadership and mentoring, stakeholder management, strategic sourcing, process improvement, data-driven decision-making, negotiation and offer management, market intelligence research, and employer branding strategies.
One key area I truly excel in and am passionate about is Root Cause Analysis (RCA). For me, every challenge presents an opportunity to dig deeper, identify underlying issues, and develop tailored solutions to address them. By applying RCA to recruitment challenges, I can optimize processes, improve candidate experiences, and enhance overall team performance.
Ultimately, what drives me as a Lead Recruiter is the ability to influence change, foster talent, and contribute to the company’s success.
Motivated by problem-solving, new challenges, & learning opportunities
Problem-solving challenges me to think holistically, requiring me to approach each situation with a 360-degree perspective. This means considering all angles and identifying creative solutions. Each challenge is unique, whether it involves overcoming specific recruitment obstacles, refining the hiring process, or adapting to new industry trends. I constantly embrace these new challenges, which not only fuel my personal growth but also enable me to develop strategies that improve the efficiency of the recruitment process.
By continuously learning and evolving in my role, I’m able to identify innovative solutions that contribute to my personal growth and career development.
Self-awareness is a key factor in long-term career success.
When you, as a candidate, have a clear understanding of your skills and areas for improvement, you can make better decisions about the roles and companies that align with your aspirations. Self-awareness also enables you to communicate more effectively during interviews. When you are aware of your accomplishments and areas for growth, you can confidently highlight your skills and discuss how you have worked to overcome challenges. This builds credibility and helps interviewers understand how you will contribute to the organization in the long run.
