Shibani Sonawane

As a talent acquisition professional with hands-on experience across agency and in-house environments, I specialise in talent mapping, market intelligence, and advanced sourcing — delivering deep insights that help stakeholders make informed, realistic hiring decisions. Having personally recruited across India, APAC, and EMEA, I bring a nuanced understanding of regional talent markets, cultural dynamics, and candidate behaviour across geographies. I began my career sharpening my sourcing and headhunting skills at a leading agency before moving in-house within the financial services sector. Rather than simply filling roles, I focus on equipping hiring managers and business leaders with real-time talent intelligence — including supply-demand analysis, competitor mapping, compensation benchmarking, and location feasibility — so that hiring strategies are grounded in market reality from day one.
