Associate Resource Consultant

Hi, I'm Shashidhar, an Associate Resource Consultant at Harvey Nash.&nbsp;
I'm an experienced Technical Recruiter with over a decade of expertise and experience in placing exceptionally talented individuals. I work alongside a number of major organisations across the UK, including Google, BBC, Ford and Expedia.&nbsp;
When working with clients, my responsibilities range from participating in meetings with hiring managers, identifying and approaching suitable candidates, all the way through to processing offers for successful candidates.&nbsp;
Example roles I recruit for include:
<ul>
<li>Front-End Developers</li>
<li>Back-End Developers</li>
<li>Cloud Developers</li>
<li>DevOps Engineers</li>
<li>Business Analysts</li>
<li>Scrum Masters&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Outside of work, I am a huge cricket fan and spend a lot of my time playing myself. When I'm not out on the pitch, I enjoy putting my feet up and watching series to relax. Besides watching series, I also love listening to music and reading stories based on ancient mythology.&nbsp;
The best piece of advice I've ever been given is, "Work hard and stay humble."
