Hi, I’m Shanawaz! 👋 I’m a recruiting leader with a decade of experience building top-tier teams across Asia and the Middle East. I bring strategic vision, operational excellence, and a passion for connecting talented professionals with life-changing opportunities. • At Traveloka, I helped scale their engineering team from 20 to 150 in India-laying a solid foundation for explosive growth. • At Cashfree Payments, I collaborated directly with the founders to build critical product, engineering, data, security, and design teams from scratch. • Now based in Dubai at Astra Tech/BOTIM, I’m building both business and technical teams for the region’s first ultra-app-impacting the daily lives of 150 million+ users. I’m also deeply committed to helping professionals navigate the complex UAE job market. I offer 1:1 career guidance, covering: • Effective job search strategies in UAE • Resume tweaks for regional hiring norms • LinkedIn optimization and storytelling. Leveraging Linkedin to tap into hidden job opportunities. • Interview readiness for local and international employers. Recognizing how tricky it can be to break into this market, my mission is to make your job search less daunting and more strategic-with heart and hustle. Let’s connect and chat more!
