This is a hands-on, target-driven role focused on active, outbound sourcing – not just processing incoming applications.

Role Overview

You will:

• Own the recruitment lifecycle for assigned roles – from intake to joining.
• Focus mainly on tech positions while also handling non-tech/support hiring depending on business needs.
• Spend a significant portion of your time on proactive sourcing via LinkedIn, job portals, and communities, rather than only relying on direct applicants.

• Experience range, budget, and location preferences
• Role context, reporting, and career growth
• Ask clarifying questions where needed and ensure screening criteria and search strategy are clearly defined before sourcing.

2. Sourcing & Talent Pipeline Building

• Data / AI / ML engineers
• QA / Automation testers
• Product and business analysts
• Support roles (operations, customer success, sales, marketing, etc.)

3. Screening & Assessment

• Conduct initial telephonic / video screening to evaluate:
• Technical skills and relevant stack exposure
• Complexity and relevance of previous projects
• Communication skills and cultural fit
• Alignment with compensation, notice period, location, and work setup expectations
• Coordinate technical assessments / coding tests / assignments as required and follow up for completion.
• Quickly calibrate profiles with the Recruitment Manager / hiring managers by sharing a first batch of sourced candidates and aligning on what “good” looks like.
• Present shortlisted candidates with structured notes (skills summary, notice period, CTC, reasons for fit, potential risks).

4. Interview Coordination & Process Management

• Schedule interviews with internal stakeholders and/or clients, sharing clear information with candidates (role, panel, format).
• Ensure interviewers have updated resumes, your screening notes, and any test results in advance.
• Keep candidates informed about timelines, feedback expectations, and next steps.
• Collect and record structured feedback from interviewers; update ATS/trackers promptly.
• Escalate bottlenecks or delays to the Recruitment Manager and propose solutions (parallel pipelines, wider search, adjusted criteria, etc.).

5. Offer Management & Joining

• Support the Recruitment Manager / HR in preparing offer details / CTC structures.
• Clearly explain offer components to candidates and handle queries around salary structure, benefits, and role expectations.
• Manage offer negotiation within guidelines and keep candidates engaged until joining (check-ins, documentation support, pre-joining engagement).
• Coordinate with HR operations / onboarding for smooth joining – documentation, systems access, induction schedules.

6. ATS, Reporting & Documentation

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date candidate records in the ATS / trackers – including stages, notes, and communication history.
• Track and report your sourcing funnel metrics, including:

Profiles identified → contacted → responded → screened → shortlisted → interviewed → offered → joined.

• Clearly mark candidates as sourced vs applied to help measure outbound impact.
• Share weekly updates with the Recruitment Manager on open roles, pipeline health, risks, and suggested corrective actions.

7. Market Intelligence & Continuous Improvement

• Stay updated on tech recruitment trends, salary benchmarks, demand-supply patterns, and competitor hiring.
• Share market feedback on challenging roles, skill shortages, or unrealistic expectations with the Recruitment Manager for calibration.
• Suggest improvements in JDs, search strategy, interview process, assessments, and candidate engagement based on your daily experience.
