Senior Consultant focused on IT and manufacturing search. Specialises in niche technical roles where the right candidate sits in a small population and rarely responds to outreach without a thoughtful approach.
Pournima Ghanekar is a Senior Consultant at Posimind Consulting, with a practice focused on Information Technology and Manufacturing.
Pournima's specialisation is niche search — roles where the pool of qualified candidates is small, where the candidates worth hiring are usually not actively looking, and where a generic outreach approach will produce no response and waste the client's time. Her engagements range from specialist engineering roles in manufacturing to product, platform, and engineering leadership roles in IT and software businesses.
What clients and candidates remark on is her persistence. Pournima approaches every mandate with the assumption that the right person exists and can be reached, and she works the search until that assumption is proven correct. Her style combines that determination with a wit and warmth that makes her easy to work with on both sides of an engagement — candidates open up to her, and clients trust her read on whether someone will actually thrive in a particular environment.
Every niche role has someone worth hiring. The work is figuring out who, and earning their attention.
