About Soumi Ghosh

I’m a technical and product recruiter with 10+ years of experience hiring for AI/ML, Data Science, Product, Engineering, and GTM teams. I love partnering with leaders to build hiring strategies, improve funnel conversion, and bring in high-quality talent for hard-to-fill roles. Most of my work has been in fast-moving environments where accuracy, speed, and strong stakeholder relationships matter.I’ve supported teams building bespoke ML and GenAI solutions, and I enjoy the challenge of finding niche technical talent in a competitive market. I value transparency, clear communication, and setting the right expectations — something I’ve found leads to stronger long-term hiring outcomes.I’m passionate about building strong recruiting foundations for product and high-growth teams and supporting them through scalable processes and thoughtful hiring strategies.Recruiting Specialties: Full-life cycle recruiting; Tech and Non-tech recruiting; Strategic sourcing; Offer Closing; Candidate experience; Client management; Pipeline building; Executive hiring; Process improvement
