1.Please tell us about yourself and your experience so far as a recruiter.

I’m a seasoned recruiter who’s had the chance to work across different industries, connecting people with roles that truly fit them. I love recruiting because it’s more than filling jobs—it’s about understanding people, their stories, and helping them take that next exciting step in their career journey.

2 .What are some must-have qualities you look for in candidates applying to HGS?

For me, both cultural fitment and skills go hand in hand. I look for candidates who not only bring strong expertise to the table but also align with our values—people who are adaptable, communicate openly, and thrive in a collaborative setup. The right blend of attitude and ability makes all the difference.

3 .What is a question you never miss asking?

I always make it a point to ask candidates about their motivation and their understanding of the job role and the organization. It helps me see what truly drives them beyond their resume—how much effort they’ve put into understanding the opportunity and whether their goals align with what we offer.

4 .What would be your pro tip for applicants?

Prepare well—research the role and the company, understand why you’re applying, and be clear about what you want. Confidence paired with honesty always leaves a lasting impression.

5 .What aspect of the HGS culture do you share with your candidates?

It’s a space that values real people and real conversations. The culture here is grounded yet ambitious; you’re trusted to take ownership, learn fast, and make an impact without losing your individuality. That balance really stands out.

At HGS, it’s not just about finding a job, it’s about finding your fit. Start your journey with us today.
