About

With 7+ years of HR expertise spanning various industries, I specialize in stakeholder management and strategic recruitment across both technical and non-technical domains. My passion lies in matching the right talent with the right opportunities to drive business success. Currently serving as a Recruiter at LinkedIn, I focus on identifying and connecting top talent to strategic opportunities for LinkedIn's different business units like, System Infrastructure Application Engineering, Productivity Engineering & AI Infrastructure. My major contribution is into the leadership hiring & exec hiring. My previous experience also involves collaborating on college recruiting initiatives, managing vendor relationships, and implementing HR policies to streamline the hiring process. From understanding & gathering the information on the hiring need to sourcing and screening to interviewing and onboarding, I'm deeply involved in the entire recruitment lifecycle. I excel in identifying top-tier talent for roles including Engineering Managers, Data Scientists, Software Engineers, and more across different verticals. Armed with a degree in Computer Science Engineering, I bring a solid technical understanding to my recruitment endeavors. Beyond work, I'm dedicated to volunteering for social causes, indulging in reading, biking, or simply enjoying the company of a furry friend. Let's connect and expand our professional networks together!
