Astha Gupta is a Technical Recruiter - Microsoft AI at Microsoft. She possess expertise in screening, technical recruiting, benefits negotiation, recruiting, sourcing and 18 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Astha reached out to me directly after I applied to Microsoft. She made the process extremely easy and straightforward in terms of expectations and preparation. After joining Microsoft she has continued to be an invaluable resource. She has an answer to every question I ask her. Highly knowledgeable and reliable!" and "I have been incredibly impressed with Astha's work during my candidacy at Microsoft. I applied in summer 2020 to various roles with internal referrals, but was auto-rejected on all of them and eventually stopped applying due to my frustration with the process. In the fall, Astha reached out to me after finding my profile in the Microsoft internal system and since then everything changed. Instead of just applying to a single role or team like you do with many recruiters, Astha worked to understand my background and where I wanted to take my career. Then, she recommended positions across many different software teams that would suit me. I applied to two of them, and she got the interviews rolling very quickly. She made it possible to take a single technical phone screen and apply that passing result to both positions, then got two (virtual) on-sites set up in the same week for me. I just signed my offer letter with Microsoft Teams, and I don't think it ever would have happened without Astha. I went from auto-rejected to receiving an offer in about a month with Astha's help and hard work!"
