Meeta Bedi

With over 18 years of experience spanning recruitment leadership, strategic partnerships, and business development across high-growth environments, I bring a proven ability to align talent strategies with business objectives while building and leading high-performing recruiting teams. As Director, Partnerships & Recruitment Solutions at Quantum Technology, I partner closely with executive leadership and senior stakeholders to translate growth plans into scalable recruitment strategies across complex and hard-to-fill roles. I oversee full lifecycle recruitment for permanent, contract, and project-based hires, ensuring alignment with client roadmaps, service-level expectations, and evolving workforce needs.

My experience spans senior and leadership searches, close collaboration with C-suite decision-makers, and the delivery of measurable hiring outcomes in fast-paced markets. Previously, as Director of Sales & Recruitment at STACK IT Recruitment, I led and grew a team of recruiters while designing and implementing end-to-end talent acquisition strategies. This included succession planning, recruiter development, performance management, and the use of data-driven metrics such as time-to-fill, quality of hire, and pipeline health to continuously improve delivery.

I have hands-on experience optimizing recruitment operations through ATS and CRM implementations, leveraging technology to improve candidate experience and hiring manager satisfaction.

Magnus HRS: Established and led the RFP department, securing major government contracts. Played a pivotal role in expanding healthcare recruitment, successfully placing nurses with hospitals and long-term care facilities within the first six months. Across my career, I have advised senior leaders on market conditions, compensation trends, and emerging talent needs within technology, healthcare, and digital services environments.

My background in RFP leadership and complex stakeholder management further strengthens my ability to operate as a strategic partner, balancing long-term workforce planning with immediate hiring demands. My experience emphasis on strategic partnership, team leadership, and data-driven impact. I thrive in environments where talent acquisition is viewed as a core business function and where leaders are expected to influence growth through insight, execution, and people development.
