Your Key Responsibility Areas (KRAs): You’ll support the talent acquisition team in making sure the right candidates are matched to the right roles - at speed, and with depth. Your job will be to understand hiring needs sharply, coordinate end-to-end execution across job postings, sourcing, and shortlisting, and ensure candidates are guided smoothly through the process. Every candidate you bring doesn’t just get placed, they also go through our 32-hour training to enhance workplace intelligence. So you’re not just finding talent, you’re helping shape future-ready professionals who companies actively want to retain and grow. Here’s how you’ll do this: Understand employer needs to match candidates: Join internal calls with employers and hiring managers to grasp exactly what they’re looking for - beyond what’s written in the JD. Document these insights and convert them into clear role specs and actionable sourcing criteria. Create and post structured JDs: Draft or modify JDs into our structured, clear, and engaging format. Upload and promote these roles across relevant sourcing channels - including job portals, referral groups, placement cells, and online job-seeker communities - to drive quality applications. Shortlist candidates and maintain quality: Go through new applications and our existing candidate pool to identify the most relevant candidates for each role. Ensure alignment on experience, communication, intent, and mindset - so both employers and learners feel the value of this system. Pre-screen and document candidate insights: Conduct in-depth pre-screening calls with shortlisted candidates to evaluate deeper fit using pointed, role-specific questions. Capture notes in a structured format so they’re useful to internal teams and employers. Coordinate next steps in the pipeline: Schedule screening calls and further interviews for shortlisted candidates. Follow up with candidates to ensure they show up, complete required steps, and stay engaged through the process. Capture and act on feedback: Attend or stay closely synced with team members handling employer calls to gather feedback on shared candidates. Use this feedback to sharpen future shortlisting efforts. Follow processes to maintain TAT: Stick to established workflows, spot bottlenecks, and proactively suggest fixes - so we consistently meet the promised turnaround time for each employer requirement and deliver a smooth candidate experience. Your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): JD-to-pipeline turnaround time: Time taken to go from receiving a JD to presenting high-quality candidates. Quality of candidates shortlisted: Percentage of candidates meeting role-fit and mindset-fit standards (as rated by employers + internal team). Process discipline: Percentage of assigned roles where all steps are executed as per defined workflows and formats. Who we're looking for: You’re excited about being part of something mission-driven, where every candidate is not just a number, but a story waiting to unfold. You enjoy talking to people and can conduct structured, insightful conversations that help you assess fit - not just on paper but in mindset and intent. You have sharp attention to detail, are organized, and comfortable working with lists, data, and systems to make things run smoothly. You’re eager to learn from experienced team members and contribute actively to a system that is reimagining the future of hiring in India. Prior experience in recruitment, talent coordination, or candidate sourcing is a bonus - but curiosity, energy, and strong follow-through matter more than anything else.
