Tales of a TA Leader - Meet Omkar Pradhan!
We recently spoke to Omkar Pradhan about everything from what motivates him to his journey of becoming the head of TA at GoKwik.
During this conversation, Omkar revealed about his love for “business and corporate strategy” and how he translated this into his work as a TA leader.
Here’s a fun little trivia - If there’s one thing about candidates that angers Omkar, it’s ghosting.👻

From 9 to 90 members: How DeepIntent scaled its team using Cutshort
Earlier this week, the team headed down to the DeepIntent office here in Pune for a quick catch-up with their hiring team and to discuss their upcoming hiring plans.
During the conversation, they mentioned some pretty interesting things about their journey with the product.
The challenges they were facing
When DeepIntent started scaling their team, they had to face quite an interesting set of challenges.
Right from discovering the right kind of talent among all the noise to being able to efficiently scale their hiring process, they went through a bunch of experimentation and iteration to find the right solution.
That’s until Sourabh introduced the team to Cutshort!
How Cutshort helped
Sourabh Gandhe (VP of engineering at DeepIntent) had been using Cutshort to look for opportunities himself before joining the team at DeepIntent. And since he liked the experience so much, Cutshort (by default) became his first choice to scale his own team.
Sourabh made his first hire at DeepIntent via Cutshort. And once the team saw success, there was no holding back. Within no time, their 9-member team was 90 members strong, all thanks to Cutshort.
From helping them identify the right talent among all the noise to efficiently being able to manage their hiring, Cutshort has played an active role in helping DeepIntent and their hiring. In fact, the team found the platform so easy to use that their hiring managers are now directly shortlisting and interviewing candidates.
What’s better? Their hiring team claims that some of the star hires at DeepIntent have been through Cutshort.
Now, that’s something that definitely puts a bright smile on our faces😄
What does their team have to say?
After this fun little conversation, this is what the team had to say -
Saylee Arolkar (People Ops lead) said “Cutshort stands for high quality and authentic candidates. Reaching out to them via Cutshort guarantees a response, and at the same time, their quality never dips. At least 6/10 candidates I reach out to always clear their initial assessment rounds”.
Indrajeet Deshmukh (Recruitment specialist) said “While LinkedIn Recruiter has a sizable quantity of talent, Cutshort is our go-to platform when we are looking for quality hires”.

Speaking of success stories…
Karthikeyan (head of product at TravelInq) took to G2 to share some sweet thoughts on why he loves using Cutshort.
Such love and recognition by our users are what inspires the team to work harder and smarter, every day!
