Pankaj Kumar Email & Phone Number

I started my career in marketing and worked in agencies as well as corporates and handled marketing strategies, brand campaigns, events, sales promotions, key account management, marketing budgets, and P&L management for different industries like Media, Telecom, CPG, Consumer Durables, and Technology, for many top Indian as well as International brands.From marketing other brands, I moved into marketing my own brand and put on my entrepreneurial hat. That was a very interesting, insightful, and valuable experience, which you may be able to relate to if you have ever dared to take the Red Pill and gone down the entrepreneurial route. (Yup! the Red Pill is totally a movie reference from the film Matrix, which is one of my all-time favourite movies)From entrepreneurship, I transitioned into a new career in recruitment, when I was headhunted by a recruitment agency to join them as a recruiter. Incidentally, I was placed by them in my last marketing job. This was a new challenge and a new career into which I successfully and easily transitioned into, as I realized recruitment is a mix of marketing, sales, relationships, and an entrepreneurial mindset and thus an amalgamation of my career journey thus far.I have been a recruiter now for 5+ years and love being a positive change agent and growth enabler for organizations and candidates.As a recruiter, I have a strong ability in finding the right candidate for the job. Experienced in creating and posting job descriptions, sourcing/headhunting candidates, good interviewing skills, managing the candidate lifecycle, conducting reference checks, rolling out offers, offer negotiation, and acceptance. I am strong in headhunting on Linkedin RPS, Indeed. Also strong with Applicant Tracking System.I am highly process-driven and experienced in creating, implementing processes/operations, and looking at improvements to the same. Further, I am experienced in creating and imparting training on systems, processes, operations to team members, allocate and manage workload for team members, monitoring team member performance, and providing guidance and motivation.In every job I have taken on, I have successfully brought in added value, creativity, maturity, integrity, loyalty, stability, collaboration, great team support, and consistent high performance.
