Manage, mentor, and lead a team of recruiters/TA executives; set targets, monitor performance, and build

team capability.

Build and maintain a strong talent pipeline through job portals, campus hiring, employee referrals,

impact on hiring, and quality of hire.

Drive employer branding initiatives and improve candidate experience throughout the hiring journey.

Manage relationships with recruitment vendors, staffing agencies, and consultants; negotiate commercial

terms and ensure delivery against SLAs.

Collaborate with HR Business Partners and leadership on manpower budgeting, headcount planning, and

Prepare and present hiring dashboards/reports to senior management on a regular basis.

Strong stakeholder management skills — proven ability to work closely with senior leadership, unit heads,

and cross-functional teams.

Hands-on experience in team handling — leading, coaching, and driving performance of a recruitment team.

Solid understanding of sourcing channels, ATS platforms, and recruitment analytics/MIS.

Excellent communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills.

Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple hiring requisitions simultaneously under tight

timelines.

Working knowledge of labor laws and healthcare industry hiring/compliance norms is an added advantage.
