I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with Swagata for
the last 3–4 years during her time as our Corporate
Recruiter at iRely, where she reported directly to me. I can
say she is a strategic, thoughtful, and genuinely invested
Talent Acquisition professional.
Swagata never treated hiring as a simple task of filling
open roles. Instead, she made it a priority to understand
our company’s DNA, structure, and culture at a deep level.
Because of this alignment approach, she consistently
presented candidates who weren’t just technically
qualified—they were aligned with who we are as an
organization.
Swagata has a unique ability to balance creativity with
diligence. A great example of this was her collaborative
work on several critical openings where, rather than
launching a typical external search, she proposed a solution
involving internal promotions and targeted backfilling. This
approach strengthened internal career paths and saved us
nearly a year of building new roles.
She brings a strong sense of urgency yet never compromises
on quality or cultural fit. Her communication was always
clear, proactive, and transparent. She listens, adapts, and
ensures alignment throughout the entire process.
Most importantly,Swagata truly cares about getting it right.
Her work has had a lasting impact on our team and our
trajectory as a company. Any organization would be fortunate
to have her leading their talent acquisition efforts, and I
recommend her wholeheartedly.
