My Journey – Sapana Nikhade
Reverse recruitment isn’t theory—it’s a high-impact strategy I developed from real-world executive experience.
My career began at Accenture, where I built my technical foundation. I went on to hold leadership roles at Reliance Jio, Kotak Life Insurance, and later became Assistant Vice President at SBI General Insurance. Across these organizations, I led large teams, managed cross-functional mandates, and hired senior talent myself.
But when I decided to elevate my own career beyond AVP, I faced an unexpected challenge: the traditional job search model wasn’t designed for leaders.
Job boards like Monster, LinkedIn. Recruiter waitlists. Endless applications. None of it worked at the executive level.
That’s when I built a different approach—reverse recruitment—designed specifically for senior professionals. Its about positioning directly to decision-makers, bypassed gatekeepers, and creating visibility – That’s what works for Executive Roles
This methodology is now the foundation of my work at LeadershipAura—helping senior leaders take control of their job search and land the roles they deserve, without waiting for opportunities to appear.
LeadershipAura was born from a simple yet powerful realization: traditional job search methods don’t work for senior professionals.
After spending years on the hiring side, reviewing thousands of resumes, and understanding what truly drives executive hiring decisions. I saw a massive challenge Senior professionals —AVPs, VPs, and Directors—are struggling to position themselves for CXO-level roles.
Their resume is outdated, their LinkedIn profile isn’t searchable, and they don’t know how to tap into the hidden job market. Most importantly, they don’t have time for job hunting activities because they’re leading major projects in their current role. Many also prefer a discreet or confidential job search, but they don’t know how to approach it effectively
That’s when I decided to build LeadershipAura—a strategic, done-for-you job search system built around what I call reverse recruitment
