By far the best Technical Recruiter I have come across — complete, thorough understanding of the role she was hiring for, technical expectations super clear from the start. The part I appreciate the most is technical scrutiny at the very beginning, saving the candidates' and company's time, and high EQ that helped navigate the interviews smoothly.

Working with her has made my life easy as I know if she shortlists a candidate, he/she will be good. There hasn't been a single occasion — repeating, not even a single occasion — where she suggested a candidate who was not interview-worthy. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her to anyone who wants to short-circuit the hiring process and get exceptional candidates.

Ayushi was very proactive right from the first call and she made sure to understand clearly what I as a candidate was really looking for in the company. This is something not many recruiters do. Having the right expectations is very essential during an interview process, and Ayushi made sure of this by being the bridge between me and the company. Honestly this was one of the best recruitment experiences I had in recent days.
