Managed end-to-end Talent Acquisition and stakeholder advisory for a global MNC portfolio. Expert in candidate relationship management, high-volume sourcing, and data-driven process optimization. Currently leveraging 4 years of corporate relationship experience to pivot into Banking Relationship Management. Key Responsibilities & "Banking-Ready" Achievements: Candidate Relationship & Acquisition (The RM Skill): Managed a high-volume "Sales Funnel" of 500+ candidates, acting as the face of Cognizant. This required the same persuasion and relationship-building skills used to acquire new banking customers. Achieved a 95%+ "Offer Acceptance Rate" by understanding candidate "pain points" and pitching tailored benefits—directly mirroring a Banking RM’s need to pitch financial products to clients. Strategic Stakeholder Management (The Corporate Pitch): Acted as a "Relationship Partner" to Senior Hiring Managers and Directors. I didn't just "fill roles"; I advised leadership on market trends, salary benchmarks, and talent availability. Managed high-stakes negotiations regarding compensation and joining timelines, a skill identical to negotiating loan terms or interest rates with corporate clients. High-Volume Sourcing & Portfolio Mapping (The EWS Skill): Performed "Market Mapping" to identify top talent in competitor hubs . In Banking, this is called "Catchment Mapping"—identifying companies and employees to bring into the bank. Streamlined the "Onboarding Lifecycle," ensuring 100% document accuracy. This "Zero-Error" mindset is the foundation for Banking KYC and Compliance. Data Analytics & Technical Logic: Used MS Excel to track recruitment metrics (Time-to-Hire, Cost-per-Hire). I will use this same analytical rigor to track Portfolio Revenue and CASA growth in banking. Automated reporting workflows that reduced manual effort by 20%, demonstrating the tech-savvy mindset required for 2026 Digital Banking.
