About Rachel L.

My favorite thing about talent acquisition is helping people gain clarity about what\'s important for them in their career and giving them the confidence to take the next step. Currently working as a Talent Acquisition Specialist at MetLife Global Capability Centre, where I am deeply committed to driving impactful changes through my expertise in hiring/recruitment for DEI and AI, leveraging these strengths to foster inclusive and innovative workplace at MetLife. I have end to end recruitment experience across India for various technical & non technical businesses including extensive technical & non technical campus recruitment exposure.I thrive in dynamic, high energy and creative work spaces: In my experience of recruiting, I have worked across a diverse portfolio, across a range of job roles - from Engineers to Analysts from university hires to lateral industry hires, including leadership roles. I have been exposed to a range of work environments - from scaling a growing start-up with a small team to contributing at scale in large organisation with a multiple stakeholders, from cross-functional collaboration to working (BAUs and Projects) with a diverse group of colleagues spread across geographies.When I\'m not recruiting, I am an independent writer and an amateur photographer.
