No Naukri access.
No ATS. Just 6 printed Excel sheets and a phone. 📞
That’s how Siddharth Rangan, CDR began his recruiting journey back in 2008. A young MBA grad from Chennai with big dreams, zero shortcuts, and one mission — to make it happen. He wasn’t handed a career. He built it, one cold call at a time. 💪
✨ From being a solo recruiter at Ericsson managing R&D hiring for an entire city…
✨ To handling consulting chaos and demanding clients at QSource…
✨ To scaling Genesys from 60 to 800+ employees…
✨ To now leading strategic hiring across APAC at Miratech… Siddharth’s story is all about grit, growth, and the mindset to never settle.
💡 While others chased job portals, he mastered zero-cost sourcing hacks like Recruit’em, OctoHunt, Hidden Resumes, and Boolean magic. While many feared AI, Siddharth embraced it — from ChatGPT to TextIO — without ever losing the human touch. 🤖
❤️ He still follows up with candidates after 2–3 years. He guides 12th-grade students. He mentors young recruiters. And he believes — deeply — that recruiters are the doctors of the company. 🧠
💼 🔑 Top 6 Takeaways from Siddharth’s Journey:
✅ Start wherever you are. Just don’t stop.
✅ Communicate. Then over-communicate. Trust is built in the follow-ups.
✅ You don’t need expensive tools — you need curiosity.
✅ Candidate experience lasts longer than any JD.
✅ AI can support your work — but empathy closes the loop.
✅ Be optimistic. Stand by your team. Keep showing up.
This isn’t just a career story.
It’s a playbook on how to thrive as a recruiter — with heart, hustle, and human connection. 🙌 No Naukri No Problem.
