Hello! I’m Akash Panchal, the Managing Partner at Hudson Talent Group. With 16 years of Talent Acquisition and People Leadership experience, I specialize in transforming HR operations and driving organizational success through strategic talent acquisition.
My career has afforded me the opportunity to lead significant HR projects across various industries. I’ve designed and implemented comprehensive upskilling programs, such as the EmpowerGrowth initiative, which has helped teams advance their careers through personalized skills assessments, online courses, workshops, and mentorship. This program not only boosted skills but also promoted a culture of continuous learning within the organization.
I also spearheaded the Pathways to Leadership: DEI Career Exploration Program, which created an inclusive and equitable pathway for team members and leaders to explore and excel in various aspects of business, focusing on HR, Business Development, and Operations. This program engaged over 100 employees in its first year and fostered a strong support network through cross-functional rotations and mentorship.
Furthermore, I launched a Community College Pilot Program aimed at bridging the gap between education and employment for community college students. This initiative equipped first-generation Americans and those from low-income backgrounds with industry-relevant skills and experiences, preparing them for leadership roles and fostering an inclusive pathway to professional success.
At Hudson Talent Group, my mission is clear: to create value by connecting exceptional talent with outstanding organizations and providing strategic HR solutions that drive growth and success. I’m dedicated to not just filling positions but building thriving teams that contribute to the long-term success of our clients.
