Hi, I’m Hina — Talent Advisor at Cisco, passionate about building high-performing, future-ready teams across APJC. With 8+ years of experience across technology, engineering, product organizations, GICs, startups, and Fortune 500 companies, I’ve had the opportunity to work across different facets of Talent Acquisition and HR — from technology recruiting and talent strategy to recruitment marketing and employer branding. For me, recruitment has never been just about filling roles. It’s about understanding the business behind the requirement, identifying the talent that can create meaningful impact, and building connections that go beyond a job description. Over the years, I’ve developed expertise across: **Market Intelligence | Talent Mapping | Talent Pipelines | Candidate Personas | Talent Attraction | Employer Branding | Recruitment Marketing | Skills-Based Hiring | Diversity Hiring** At Cisco, I partner closely with business leaders and hiring teams to understand complex talent needs, build strategic talent pipelines, and bring exceptional talent into the organization. I’m particularly passionate about challenging traditional ways of working and exploring what’s next in Talent Acquisition — whether that means leveraging **AI, data, technology, social platforms, market intelligence, or innovative sourcing strategies** to make hiring smarter, faster, and more human. My career journey across **Cisco, ANSR, Cargill Business Services, and CareerNet** has allowed me to wear many hats — Talent Advisor, Talent Acquisition Specialist, Recruitment Marketing Specialist, and Technology Recruiter. Every role has taught me something different. And together, those experiences have shaped one belief: **Great hiring sits at the intersection of strategy, curiosity, relationships, data, and the courage to think differently.** Beyond recruitment, I’m someone who loves being close to nature — exploring new places, unwinding outdoors, and capturing little pieces of its beauty through photography. 🌿📸 My Mantra **Be Flawed. Be Fierce. Be Fearless. Be Flamboyant. Be Fabulous. And Fly High. ✨** One philosophy that continues to inspire me: *"You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future."* — Steve Jobs
