Hiring Manager
Northwind Technologies

Subject: Application for Talent Acquisition Specialist

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to apply for the Talent Acquisition Specialist role at Northwind Technologies. I have spent four years hiring for fast-growing teams, and I enjoy matching the right person to the right role.

At Sahyadri Staffing I closed 85 positions in two years with an average time to hire of 21 days, and I brought offer drop-outs down from 25% to 12% by staying in regular touch with candidates.

I would welcome a conversation about your hiring plans. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,
Pooja Bhatt
