Talent Acquisition Lead at Accolite Digital @ Accolite

About

I’m a data-driven HR professional with 6+ years of experience in Talent Acquisition, specializing in recruitment analytics, ATS-driven hiring, and stakeholder reporting. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with business leaders to deliver hiring outcomes through structured data analysis, building Excel-based dashboards, tracking KPIs such as time-to-fill, offer-to-join ratios, pipeline health, and source effectiveness, and translating hiring data into actionable insights. I have hands-on experience with TurboHire ATS, end-to-end recruitment operations, and weekly/monthly MIS reporting for senior stakeholders. My strength lies in combining strong TA domain knowledge with analytics and process optimization to improve hiring efficiency and decision-making. I’m currently looking to transition into HR Analytics, Talent Advisor, TA Operations, or HR Tech (ATS / Reporting) roles, where I can contribute through data-backed insights and scalable HR processes. 📍 Chennai / Hyderabad / Remote ⏱ Immediate Joiner Open to conversations, referrals, and relevant opportunities.
