I'm a scrappy sourcer who is always curious and has a passion for helping companies that value people, humility, diversity, and hiring, grow. I love working with companies that are mission-driven, working on technology that is changing the world and always innovating. I love working in a role where I can work closely with hiring managers and my recruiting team. I care about the impact the company I work for has in communities and I care about the impact I can have in an organization. I especially thrive in fast-paced, growth-centric environments. However, the most important is that I get to work with great people. I also prefer to work in recruiting teams that operate as a team rather than individuals against each other. I value honesty, transparency, good communication and compassion. I’ve worked on VP/Director/senior/junior engineering and engineering manager roles, business (including marketing) roles, support roles, user operation roles, design roles, EA roles, volunteer roles (see bottom for details) If you're looking for a sourcer that will ONLY look for top school-top company candidates, I'm not the one for you. I can do it but so can every other sourcer because that's just easy sourcing. I like a challenge and to get creative. My specialty is in 3 things: working fast with high accuracy, finding diamonds-in-the-rough candidates and advising hiring managers and senior leadership based on talent analysis and data. I know as sourcers we're evaluated by our numbers but before numbers, I believe it’s about helping people find a company they love enough that they want to stay and helping companies find people that they want to keep. I want the companies I work for to win and I want my candidates to win. During my gap, I’ve been volunteering at a non-profit that helps female immigrants with their career aspirations and help our partner companies who share our mission find good candidates. When I'm not working, I'm either learning something new, strategizing how to be first at restaurants that have long lines, or wondering if I should finally splurge on a Chapman Stick. ---------------- I became a sourcer because I wanted to change the way we hire and to be in a position where I can give people a chance and vouch for them if they are good. Even if I have to work overtime, I would rather take that extra call than miss out on an awesome, full-of-potential candidate. I'm here today because I, too, had people who took a bet on me. I'm just here to pay it forward.

Every brand has a story behind it - whether that is one that leaves customers feeling informed and educated, or one that sparks joy and delight. I'm passionate about not only defining and articulating that story, but also developing and implementing integrated marketing plans which companies can utilize to tell that story and maximize their reach. We're living in an exhilarating time where you can reach millions of people through so many different channels. That being said, to build a brand, you need to identify the right audience and craft the right story. My passion for communication drew me to public relations and marketing, where I have worked with clients across a range of industries, including retail, education and technology. Until recently, I was a marketing specialist for Resume Worded, the education technology company that is at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence in the EdTech and recruitment space. In this role, I had the opportunity to create multiple integrated marketing campaigns across social, email, PPC and content. One of the marketing campaigns I led involved creating a viral video on the future of work, which generated incredible media buzz (300k+ views) and was critical to the successful launch of the LinkedIn Review product (2019). Some of my previous experiences includes being on the marketing team for BigNameCo and developing their launch strategy for ABC product. I'm currently freelancing and I'm open to new opportunities starting January. Please feel free to get in touch with me on abhisheksood259@gmail.com and we can explore how I can help.
