Hi there! 👋 I'm Aastha — an HR & People Operations professional who's independently built recruitment and HR systems from the ground up, not just supported them. I have hired 90%+ of the entire staff single-handedly, cutting time-to-hire by 95% through structured screening pipelines and ATS-based tracking. I've since been promoted into a senior HR role partnering directly with CXOs on workforce planning, succession planning, and employer branding, while also processing payroll for 50+ employees with 100% accuracy, cycle after cycle. I also consult with U.S.-based and Indian companies on HR, payroll, and compliance, including an Amazon DSP (California), an AI/tech recruitment firm (New Jersey), and an e-commerce operator (Rhondo Beach, California) hiring across Amazon, eBay, and Walmart. This means I don't just know HR theory. I've run payroll compliance across Iowa/Federal labor law, filed workers' comp claims, managed OSHA recordkeeping, and built onboarding systems from scratch for organizations that had none. What I bring to the table: ✅ End-to-end Recruitment (Technical & Non-Technical): sourced and screened 10,000+ candidates across LinkedIn, Naukri, IIM Jobs, and Indeed ✅ Payroll & Compliance: GreytHR, QuickBooks Payroll, multi-state/federal compliance (I-9, W-4, New Hire Reporting) ✅ HR Automation: I build systems, not just processes, using Power Automate, Power BI, and Excel to eliminate manual work across onboarding, leave tracking, and reporting ✅ Executive & Administrative Support: calendar/inbox management, international travel coordination, and stakeholder engagement for C-suite executives ✅ HR Policy, Onboarding & Documentation: handbooks, SOPs, structured onboarding programs that measurably improve 30-day retention ✅ Data-Driven HR: dashboards and reporting using Power BI, Power Query, and Advanced Excel I treat every client engagement like it's my own organization: fast turnaround, airtight confidentiality, and the same ownership mindset that got me promoted twice in under two years. If you need someone who can walk in, look at a messy HR or ops process, and actually fix it, not just manage it, let's talk. 📩 Let's build efficient, scalable people systems together.
