About Shane Mathews

Hi, I’m Shane and I work at the intersection of people, performance and purpose.Over the last 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to diverse industries from Telecom, ISP, IT, BFSI and FinTech to EdTech, BPO and Core HR functions helping businesses grow by bringing in the right people, not just more people.I’ve worn multiple hats across the HR spectrum; Talent Acquisition, HR Operations, Strategic Workforce Planning and everything in between. From closing niche tech roles in the India markets to managing end-to-end payroll in India. I believe in hands-on HR that blends empathy with execution. What I bring to the table:• Sourcing & Headhunting (including Boolean & X-Ray) across IT & Non-IT roles• Full-Cycle Talent Acquisition - from job design to onboarding• HR Operations - employee lifecycle, payroll, compliance and policy frameworks & implementation• People Analytics & Dashboards - hiring metrics, Power BI reports, process improvements• Stakeholder Collaboration - working across geographies (US, UK, Mexico, Philippines India)• Employer Branding - Glassdoor, AmbitionBox, Google Business, etc.• Campus Engagements - hiring GETs, MTs and apprentices from colleges/ITIs• Employee Experience & Engagement - OKRs, mentoring, grievance redressal• Project-Based Bulk Hiring - managed large-scale hiring drives in record time• Vendor & Consultant Management - contracts, compliance, and pay-outs• Digital Transformation Projects - HRMS implementation (GreytHR, Plum, Onsurity)I’ve also built teams from the ground up, mentored new recruiters, and aligned people strategies with business goals in high-growth environments.🤝 Why connect with me?I’m not just another HR professional checking boxes, I’m someone who loves conversations around talent, tech, and transformation. You’ll find me deeply curious, calm under pressure and always open to learning something new.Whether you’re looking to brainstorm a hiring challenge, build a pipeline, or just exchange perspectives on today’s talent landscape let’s connect.🧩 Outside Work?I’m a football fan, an aspiring hybrid athlete and I’m currently a runner training for half-marathons. I also enjoy reading self-help and leadership books (The Alchemist is a recent favorite) and I believe in always moving forward physically and professionally.
