About Rahul Ravi

As an experienced talent acquisition professional, I’ve spent nearly a decade helping hyper-growth product teams scale — from building founding teams to closing strategic hires in highly competitive markets. My strength lies in being a hands-on individual contributor who thrives on crafting and executing hiring strategies that align directly with business and product goals.At Harness, I joined as part of the founding TA team in India, partnering closely with engineering leadership to build multiple product teams from scratch. Over the years, I’ve successfully hired Engineering leaders, senior ICs, Staff and Principal-level engineers — often through creative sourcing, data-driven insights, and thoughtful offer storytelling that resonates beyond compensation. While mentoring junior recruiters and shaping processes, I’ve always stayed deeply hands-on: owning critical reqs, designing hiring plans, and ensuring every candidate touchpoint reflects the brand we’re building.Before Harness, I led technical hiring at Informatica, playing a key role in building the founding team for CLAIRE AI — bringing in architects, senior engineers, and data scientists who shaped the company’s AI journey.What drives me isn’t just filling roles — it’s building teams that create real product impact, balancing speed with quality, and always staying curious about how talent strategy can unlock business outcomes. I love connecting with builders, thinkers, and leaders who believe great teams don’t happen by accident.
