Teja Jillellla

I'm a passionate and results-oriented Talent Acquisition Specialist having around 7 years of hands-on experience in both Domestic Indian IT and US IT recruitment. Over the years, I've built a strong track record in full-cycle hiring—from sourcing and screening to closing candidates across contract, C2H, and full-time roles. I’ve worked closely with direct clients, Tier-1 vendors, and implementation partners like TCS, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra, supporting hiring needs across a range of industries and technical domains.

I’ve had the opportunity to place top talent with leading organizations including State Governments (GA, WI, UT), Sherwin Williams, Boeing, Moog, John Deere, Herbalife, Independent Health, and L3 Harris. Whether it's high-volume hiring or niche tech roles, I take pride in creating efficient, people-first recruitment processes that deliver results. My strength lies in building strong candidate pipelines quickly, staying responsive to client needs, and always aiming for a great match—for both the company and the candidate.
