Bhawna Gulati

Senior Talent Acquisition Partner (Tech + GTM) @ Relay

About

I’m a Technical Recruiter with ~9 years of experience connecting great people with meaningful opportunities in tech. My career spans both global enterprises (TCS, Sanofi, Nike) and fast-growing startups (Wealthsimple, PayU, Jobber, Relay), giving me a unique perspective on how to balance structure with agility in talent acquisition. In 2019, I moved to Canada and rebuilt my career from the ground up, an experience that made me resilient, adaptable, and deeply empathetic toward candidates navigating change. In my last role at Jobber, I managed full-cycle recruitment for engineering, and product teams, consistently reducing time-to-hire and achieving a 92% offer acceptance rate. I focus on data-driven recruiting, process optimization, and candidate experience, because I believe hiring should be both efficient and human. I thrive in collaborative environments where talent is seen as a growth driver. Whether it’s scaling technical teams, launching early-career hiring programs, or shaping inclusive recruitment practices, my goal is to help organizations build future-ready teams that make a real impact.
