With over 13 years of distinguished experience, I provided strategic leadership in talent acquisition and management, including manpower planning, competency mapping, people management, and global hiring and transformed recruitment processes, attracted top-tier talent for high-growth tech startups and Fortune 500 companies, and managed onboarding and offboarding in a diverse, remote environment. I have a strong track record of setting up robust hiring processes from scratch, advising C-suite executives, and leading high-performing teams. I focused on building diverse and inclusive workforces and sparking innovative recruitment strategies to support long-term organizational growth. As a design thinker, I am committed to acquiring and deploying the right talent at the right time. I developed a highly engaged workforce and fostered a performance-driven culture using technology-enabled HR systems. I am experienced with various ATS platforms and recruitment tools and have successfully handled ad-hoc HR projects and presented dynamic dashboards to executive teams. My career highlights include revamping recruitment strategies and processes, which earned leadership praise and improved metrics. I built and mentored a high-performing talent acquisition team, significantly boosting performance. I established R&D and shared service centers, saving costs and strengthening in-house teams. I led the rapid implementation of BambooHR ATS, tailoring it to our needs. I orchestrated recruitment drives and referral programs, enhancing candidate engagement and onboarding rates. Furthermore, I successfully built and led an R&D engineering team across borders and efficiently recruited key leadership roles. I boosted employer branding through a video project, improving company ratings. I reinvented onboarding processes for both office and virtual settings, enhancing new hire productivity. I also managed HR operations and streamlined file management while recruiting talent across a range of technical skills. I am always looking forward to taking up new challenges and projects, feel free to connect @ payyaloresai86@gmail.com
