Talent Acquisition Lead

Job Overview

SquadStack.ai is entering a phase of rapid scale across AI Product, Engineering, Revenue, and Central teams.

We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Lead who can build a high-performance, predictable hiring engine that consistently attracts exceptional talent instead of simply closing requisitions.

You will own the hiring strategy end-to-end and partner directly with the Founders and Business Heads to ensure we always have the right people in place to fuel our vision and unlock our next chapter of growth.

What You’ll Do

• Translate org plans into quarterly and monthly hiring plans across product, tech, revenue and central teams
• Lead and mentor the recruiting team, building capability in search strategy, screening excellence, stakeholder partnership, and world-class candidate experience
• Own end to end hiring for critical and leadership roles
• Design and run a weekly hiring operating rhythm with clear dashboards, reviews, and risk visibility
• Build and improve recruiting processes and candidate journeys across functions.
• Balance internal sourcing, referrals, and vendor partnerships to maximize velocity while maintaining a self-reliant talent engine
• Partner closely with People Ops on offers, compensation, and pre-joining engagement to create a seamless and compelling candidate experience
• Work with founders and the employer branding team on campaigns and content that attract the right talent to SquadStack.ai
• Experiment with AI and automation to speed up sourcing, screening and reporting where it makes sense

What We’re Looking For:

• You are comfortable with ambitious targets and are obsessed with both speed and quality
• You genuinely like building people and systems
• You communicate clearly and directly, and you are comfortable pushing back using data
• You care deeply about the experience of every candidate and every hiring manager
• You have 6 to 8 years of experience in talent acquisition with at least 2 years leading a team
• You have worked in fast growing product, tech, AI, analytics orgs where hiring was central to business success

What you can expect

• Opportunity to build the full TA org for a high growth AI company
• A culture that values talent density, ownership, and candour
• A front row seat to how an AI native business scales
• If this sounds like the kind of challenge you want to own and you already feel your brain planning the funnel, we would love to meet you.

Why should you consider us seriously?

• We believe that long-term, people over product and profits, prioritise culture over everything else.
• We are a well-balanced team of experienced entrepreneurs and are backed by top investors across India and Silicon Valley (Chiratae Ventures, Blume Ventures, Abstract Ventures, Emergent Ventures; Senior execs at Google, Square, Genpact & Flipkart; Co-founders of Infosys, Snapdeal, SlideShare, Zomato, etc.)
• Freedom and Responsibility 🦅
• Entrepreneurial Team 💪
• Exponential Growth 📈
• Healthcare (Physical & Mental Wellness) 😌
