RACHNA TOTAWAT

I am a Recruitment and Talent Acquisition professional with about 20 years of experience spanning recruitment consulting and in-house Talent Acquisition management within the IT industry. With an MBA in Human Resources and Industrial Relations, I bring a strong combination of recruitment expertise, business understanding, stakeholder management, and strategic talent advisory.Throughout my career, I have worked both as a recruitment consultant, supporting organizations in identifying and attracting qualified professionals, and as an in-house Recruitment Manager within an IT company, managing talent acquisition requirements in alignment with business objectives. This dual perspective has given me a comprehensive understanding of both client and employer expectations, as well as the evolving technology talent market. My expertise covers end to end recruitment, workforce requirements, sourcing strategy, candidate identification, screening, interviews, stakeholder engagement, offer negotiation, and onboarding. I have managed multiple and specialized hiring requirements while building strong relationships with business leaders, hiring managers, candidates, and external partners. As a Talent Acquisition professional, I focus on understanding the business behind every hiring requirement rather than simply filling positions. I work closely with stakeholders to define role expectations, identify the right talent pools, assess candidates against business needs, and deliver an effective and positive candidate experience. Based in Dubai, UAE, I bring a consultative, market focused, and people centric approach to talent acquisition, helping organizations attract the right talent while supporting professionals in navigating meaningful career opportunities.
