What does it take for a business to thrive? In my opinion—people. Too often the biggest hurdle organizations face is finding and developing the right talent.
I am an HR professional with experience working in multi-cultural, dynamic environments across the HR of IT Industry, Financial sector and the Development sector. My core areas are Talent Acquisition, Policies development, process design ,T&D and employee relations. I feel accomplished when I utilize my skillset to facilitate growing companies in building their functional structure and processes.
Early in my career, I discovered the importance of good communication and the power of relationships. My work has always given me the stimulus to improve, to grow personally and professionally, and to help others do the same. I do not doubt that this is best achieved when individuals are immersed in a learning culture that supports collaboration and a team spirit.
How to place the right people in the right position at the right time is a skill which I have polished,and developed over the period of time. Recruitment trends have been changed a lot, and now only recruiters with the " Hunter attitude", "Patience", "Persistance", "Empathy" and "Proactiveness" are the ones who are going to take the lead because it is now all about "Candidate's Expereince"; the best part is that, I am proud to have all these traits and are truly reflective in my work and personality.
