From Hiring Dreams to Healing Journey, stepping Back to Breathe, Reflect, and Begin Again ## About Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of building career rooted in human connection, purpose, and growth through my journey in recruitment and talent acquisition\. My experience spans across geographies—from India to the United States to the United Kingdom—and across industries, from education and healthcare to corporate and global staffing\. I began my professional journey as an Assistant Recruiter in Hyderabad, where I gained hands\-on experience in sourcing, screening, and supporting school recruitment processes\. That early exposure taught me not only the operational side of hiring but also the value of patience, persistence, and people\-first thinking\. My passion for recruitment truly came alive during my time at ICONMA, a nationwide consulting firm in the U\.S\., where I served as a Healthcare Recruiter\. Here, I managed full\-cycle recruitment, engaged with a wide array of healthcare professionals, and learned to thrive in a fast\-paced, high\-demand environment\. It was a challenging and deeply rewarding role that expanded my understanding of workforce dynamics and candidate care\. In my most recent position as a Delivery Consultant at Randstad Global Capability Center, I was fortunate to work on an international scale, engaging with global clients, aligning talent with critical business goals, and refining my expertise in sourcing, stakeholder management, and hybrid work dynamics\. Being part of a globally recognized HR leader helped me develop strategic thinking, sharpen my communication skills, and navigate complex hiring landscapes\. Now, after several fulfilling years in recruitment, I’m choosing to close this chapter and transition toward a new professional path\. This decision comes from a place of growth, curiosity, and alignment with my evolving goals\. While I may be stepping away from recruitment, the skills I’ve gained—interpersonal communication, emotional intelligence, problem\-solving, adaptability—will continue to guide and strengthen me wherever I go\. Recruitment gave me more than just a career—it gave me purpose, confidence, global exposure, and lifelong lessons\. I am excited to embrace what comes next and continue making meaningful impact in new ways\. ## Location India ## Work experience Human Resources Specialist at School, Aug 2025 \- Jan 2026 · 6 mos, Hyderabad Delivery Consultant at Randstad Global Capability Center, Mar 2025 \- Jul 2025 · 5 mos, Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, United Kingdom, Randstad, a global leader in the HR services industry, is a staffing and recruitment agency that connects people with jobs and employers with talent\.
