About Vishal N

I’m a Talent Acquisition Leader with over a decade of experience building recruitment functions that scale startups into enterprises and expand enterprises into global markets.Across my career, I’ve partnered with Founders, CXOs, and investors to design and execute hiring strategies that directly impact business outcomes - from scaling 0→1 teams at early-stage startups, to hiring leadership talent that drives revenue growth, to building global TA operations across Brazil, Europe, and the Gulf.Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to be recognised among India’s Top 25 Talent Leaders, featured as one of the Top 100 Talent Titans, and to have led teams awarded Best Talent Acquisition Team in India by LinkedIn.What drives me is simple: hiring isn’t just filling roles - it’s building the future of a company. Whether it’s reducing hiring costs by 90%, doubling employer brand inbound, or crafting leadership hiring playbooks, I take pride in building TA functions that are strategic, scalable, and sustainable.Today, I focus on:• Leadership & CXO Hiring (Director+ bench strength for high-growth orgs)• Global Talent Strategy (hiring in emerging + established markets)• Employer Branding (turning culture into a magnet for talent)• Recruitment Analytics (making TA a data-driven business partner)I enjoy mentoring TA teams, advising founders, and sharing learnings with the HR community. If you’d like to discuss scaling teams, leadership hiring, or future-of-work trends, I’d love to connect.
