He was incredibly prompt in responding, and always maintained this level of communication throughout the process. It was evident to me that Hardeep cares about the candidates and the company, and he made the entire process smooth and enjoyable.

Hardeep’s communication, ability to create relationships with executives, hiring managers and candidates, and his dependability are what truly sent him apart!

VP of SALES, GREYORANGE

I worked with Hardeep from 2020 to 2024 at Dexterity, a high-flying AI robotics startup and would highly recommend him.

In addition, he was able to lead all aspects of talent acquisition and scale accordingly as our startup went from seed-round, to Unicorn valuation.

He’s very well organized and had the ability to manage 100’s of engagements, as we scaled to 250+ employees, and communicate throughout the process to all relevant stakeholders, the disposition of each engagement.

Hardeep is not a generalist, prior to recruitment, he took the time to understand the company’s core technology, how it was differentiated in the marketplace and it’s overriding value proposition- AND then, articulate to a potential candidate, Dexterity's tech in an exciting and compelling manner.

His role didn’t end with a signed offer letter, though. Hardeep created genuinely positive and exciting culture that helped both new and longer-tenured employees feel comfortable and productive.
