Gurleen Kaur Chopra

I'm a Global Talent Acquisition and Executive Search professional with 15+ years of experience delivering complex, cross-border hiring across 13 countries — spanning APAC, SEA, Middle East, ANZ, and North Africa.Throughout my career I've specialised in mid-to-senior and leadership hiring across FMCG, Consumer Goods, Pharma, Manufacturing, Engineering, and Industrial sectors — managing 10+ concurrent mandates at any given time and consistently achieving a 30–40 day time-to-fill for senior roles, well below the industry average.A few things I'm particularly proud of:Closed 3 diversity-mandated leadership roles for a global elevator & escalator industry client — Managing Director (Singapore), Head of HR (Egypt), and Pricing Manager SEA (Malaysia) — each requiring nearly a year of persistence and multi-strategy sourcing.Delivered 2 critical regional leadership roles at one of my client from Consumer goods (each with 25-country scope) within 2 months in Singapore, navigating a demanding hiring panel and highly competitive market.Successfully cracked the ANZ contractual hiring market as a brand new geography during an embedded TA engagement, building pipelines from scratch.Worked across both executive search and in-house embedded (RPO) TA models, giving me a 360° view of what great hiring looks like from both sides.I bring a consultative, partner-first approach — working closely with business leaders, regional TA teams, and hiring managers to align talent strategy with business priorities. My geographic expertise spans Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, China, Thailand, ANZ, Dubai, Egypt, Turkey, Bahrain, and North Africa.Currently exploring remote opportunities at Manager / Senior Manager level in Talent Acquisition, Executive Search, or TA Business Partnering roles — ideally within FMCG, Pharma, or Engineering-led organisations with a global or regional hiring remit.
