People, Culture, Recruitment & Everything HR @Workstreet

## About

I help companies hire the people who shape their growth, from the first AI engineer to the founding sales team\. As Founding Recruiter at Workstreet, I built the talent function from scratch and closed 150\+ roles in 12 months\. The roles ranged from Analyst to Manager across AI/ML, Research Engineering, Full\-stack, Data, GTM, GRC and Design\. I work closely with founders and engineering leads to turn unclear headcount needs into clear hiring plans, role scorecards and structured interview loops\. What I bring: Full\-cycle recruiting for technical and go\-to\-market roles, from intake and sourcing through offer and onboarding Sourcing across India, APAC, EMEA and the US using LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Stack Overflow, X\-ray and Boolean search Candidate experience: a 4\.9/5 candidate satisfaction score while making 10\+ offers a month Data\-driven hiring: time\-to\-fill cut by 25 to 30%, offer\-to\-join ratio up 20%, quality of hire up 40% through structured evaluation Diversity hiring: 35% more diverse hires in six months HR operations: set up Rippling ATS/HRIS, onboarding programs with 100% compliance, and performance review cycles Before Workstreet, I spent over three years at Numerator recruiting for Engineering, Data, GTM and Ops roles\. I also ran people programs there, improving offer\-to\-join by 15% and increasing applications for niche roles by 50% with better job descriptions\. I see recruiting as a business partnership, not a requisition queue\. That means challenging vague briefs, keeping hiring managers aligned when priorities shift, and making sure no candidate has to chase us for an update\. Lately I’ve been using AI to automate the admin work so more of my time goes to conversations and decisions\. I’m currently open to Talent Acquisition, Talent Partner and Recruitment roles, especially with startups and teams that care about hiring well\. If you’re building a team, let’s talk\. 📩 sumit2072001sharma@gmail\.com
