About the Role

The Technical Recruiter will be responsible for end-to-end hiring delivery of technology and support roles for:

• External client mandates that require tech talent and support staff.

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.
• Work closely with the Recruitment Manager and hiring managers to close positions within agreed timelines and quality standards.

Key Responsibilities1. Requirement Understanding & Role Briefing

• Attend detailed intake meetings with the Recruitment Manager / hiring managers to understand:
• Tech stack, tools, and frameworks required
• Must-have vs good-to-have skills
• 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

• Take full ownership of active sourcing, not just processing applicants from posted jobs.
• Use LinkedIn, Indeed, Naukri, and other job portals extensively to identify and reach out to relevant candidates.
• Build and continuously refine Boolean search strings and advanced search filters to narrow down to the right profiles quickly.
• Proactively send connection requests, InMails, emails, and job portal messages to targeted candidates with tailored outreach, followed by systematic follow-ups.
• Tap into multiple channels beyond job boards:
• Employee and external referrals
• GitHub / Stack Overflow and other tech communities
• WhatsApp/Telegram groups, alumni networks, meetups, and online forums
• Build and maintain role-wise talent pools for recurring roles such as:
• Developers (frontend, backend, full-stack, mobile)
• DevOps / Cloud / SRE
• Data / AI / ML engineers
• QA / Automation testers
• Product and business analysts
• Support roles (operations, customer success, sales, marketing, etc.)
• Ensure all sourcing activity and candidate touchpoints are logged accurately in the ATS / trackers.

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.

Key Skills & Requirements

• Graduate (any discipline); specialization in HR / IT / related fields is an advantage.
• 2–5 years of experience in technical recruitment / IT staffing, preferably in a tech/startup or staffing / consulting environment.
• Strong comfort with hiring for tech roles (developers, data, QA, DevOps, product, etc.) and willingness to handle non-tech/support roles as needed.
• Hands-on experience in proactive sourcing using:
• LinkedIn (including advanced search techniques)
• Major job portals such as Indeed, Naukri, and others
• Boolean search and keyword strategies
• Good understanding of common tech skills and terminology (e.g Python, React, Node, microservices, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, SQL/NoSQL, etc.).
