I've been recruiting for over 7 years, with the focus on Talent Acquisition in the IT arena. I have also managed few teams of recruiters operating from different locations as a part of my team building capabilities.
My recruiting philosophy is fairly simple and has 4 components
- Customer Service
- Professionalism
- Relationship Development
- Personal Growth
On the academic front, I did my engineering specializing in Electrical and Electronics from the University of Madras. I am an alumnus of the University of Wales where I did my MBA in HR.
In leisure I love to travel to various places and understand the nuances of the architecture and culture associated with them apart from me being a big foodie. Food and cooking is at the core of entertaining, and my passion grew and grew.
I love gardening, it takes my mind off things, but best of all there is always a sense of my environmental awareness.
