About Aditya Deo

I have 10 years (120 months) of hands-on experience in talent acquisition with a strong focus on hiring for Business, product and technology roles. I am currently building talent acquisition strategy, hiring planning and engaging candidate experience to attract top talent for Coursefinder.ai. Started my career in consulting environment for about 3 years, which gave me a strong foundation in structured recruitment. Since then, I have worked entirely with software products and high-growth start-up environments across Loyalty CRM, Event tech, AI, and enterprise tech SaaS start-ups, where speed, quality and ownership matter the most.I have built multiple teams/functions from scratch (0→1 & 1→10) across Engineering, Data, Product, Design, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success, and hired entry-level talent to CXO/leadership level such as VP, Director, CTO, and functional heads across departments.I understand how product companies scale, how teams are structured, and what kind of talent fits different stages of growth. I regularly do market mapping, competitor benchmarking, and talent research, which helps me find stronger and more relevant candidates faster. Also, hired talent from Singapore, USA, Philippines, Malaysia etc and approached Tier 1 institutions like NUS, NTU, IIT, NIT, BITS etc for campus.Most of my work has been directly with CEOs, founders, and department heads, where I translate business needs into clear hiring plans and run end-to-end recruitment with full ownership. Beyond core recruitment, I also manage team, employee engagement, and pre-onboarding workflows to ensure a smooth experience for both candidates and internal teams.Overall, I operate like a full-stack recruiter someone who can understand the business, partner with leadership, build teams from zero, and close roles across all levels in a product company setup.\"Talent Acquisition\", Recruitment,\"Senior Talent acquisition specialist\",\"Lead Recruiter\',\"Principle recruiter\",\"Corporate recruiter\",\"Recruitment Manager\",\"Talent acquisition manager\",\"Headhunting\",\"Recruitment strategy\",\"Stakeholder management\",\"Talent mapping\",\"Social media hiring\",\"Senior Technical recruiter\",\"Product recruiter\",\"Sourcing\",\"Interviewing\",\"Salary Negotiation\",\"Onboarding\",\"Employer branding\",\"Employee Engagement\",\"Technology hiring\",\"Team building\",\"Team handling\",\"IT Recruitment\",\"Technical recruitment\",\"Non-Technical hiring\",\"Non-Tech hiring\"
