Sharath Kashyap (He/Him/His)

At Legalzoom, I lead the Talent Acquisition function for India and Poland, driving scalable hiring strategies to support rapid business growth. I work closely with hiring managers, aligning our hiring roadmap with business goals and building a strong employer brand in two very distinct markets. Strategic Leadership: I design and implement a TA strategy that balances growth, cost-efficiency, and quality of hire across India and Poland. Team Development: I mentor and coach my TA team to elevate recruiting capability, reduce time-to-fill, and improve candidate experience. Partnership with Business: I partner closely with business leaders to understand hiring priorities, forecast hiring demand, and ensure we deliver on hiring targets. Data-Driven Hiring: I leverage market intelligence and TA metrics (e.g., time-to-hire, source effectiveness) to continuously refine our recruitment process. Employer Brand & Diversity: I champion initiatives to build a strong employer brand in both geographies, with a focus on diversity & inclusion.
