Lead Technical Recruiter - Startup Hiring - Rajajinagar, Bengaluru

At CareerXperts, we don’t do hiring like the rest. We work deep inside the engine rooms of high-growth startups and fast-scaling product companies - mapping ecosystems, dissecting mindsets, and placing talent that transforms.

This role is for someone who doesn’t wait for briefs. Someone who knows that behind every “JD” is a founder trying to build something bold - and who can turn that vision into a hiring plan that actually works.

Your Mission

• Work directly with founders, VPs, and hiring leaders of top-tier startups.
• Decode org structures, tech stacks, and business goals - and convert them into sharp hiring actions.
• Own and lead mandates across engineering, product, data, and leadership roles.
• Build hiring narratives that attract the right candidates for the right reasons.
• Map the talent landscape - not just sourcing but spotting movement, intent, and market signals.
• Lead a team of smart recruiters; raise the hiring bar internally and externally.
• Drive precision - in candidate qualification, compensation logic, and closing strategies.
• Stay plugged into what’s next: market shifts, compensation benchmarks, startup activity, and founder transitions.

Who You Are

• 6+ years in technical hiring with hands-on experience across early-stage and growth-stage startup ecosystems.
• Strong grasp of engineering roles, tech stacks, and product org structures.
• Confident communicator - can advise founders and challenge hiring plans when needed.
• Execution machine - knows how to prioritize and move fast without losing accuracy.
• Thinks like a talent strategist, not a transaction handler.
• Comfortable in ambiguity, curious by default, sharp by nature.

What’s Special Here

• You work on mandates that

  matter

  - not rinse-repeat hiring.
• You get access to founder rooms - where decisions actually happen.
• You grow into a partner, not just a recruiter.
• You become part of a firm that’s

  redefining

  what talent strategy looks like in India’s startup space.
