About the Role
Global Hiring US Staffing Scaling Up ROLE STATUS Active GTM Hiring As the Talent Acquisition & HR Lead , you will be a strategic leader responsible for shaping how we find, attract, assess, hire, and support talent — across functions, levels, and regions. You will lead and scale the TA & HR function, building structure, accountability, and strong hiring partnerships as we grow across India and the US. This role combines hands-on executive hiring with the founders, function-level leadership, process excellence, and people operations ownership.
Core Objectives:
Own hiring across India end-to-end. Build and scale US hiring capability. Lead and develop a TA & HR team of 3 FTE. Partner closely with founders to transition from founder-led to structured, manager-led hiring. This is a high-impact role. You are not just closing roles — you are building the talent engine that powers the company's next stage of growth.Roles & Responsibilities
Talent Acquisition (~80%)
Sourcing and pipeline: Building and running a sourcing strategy for open roles, keeping pipelines full enough that hiring managers are never waiting on you.
Co-founder and hiring manager partnership: Sharpening JDs, running intake calls, and holding HMs accountable for fast, clear feedback on candidates.
Candidate experience: Running a screening and interview process that moves fast and treats candidates well, from first outreach to offer.
Agency and vendor coordination: Managing external recruiting agencies where they are used (e.g., US hiring), keeping them accountable to quality and turnaround.
Reporting and process: Tracking pipeline health, time-to-fill, and source effectiveness; flagging bottlenecks before they become escalations.
Onboarding handoff: Working with the Ops/Admin teammate so new hires land well, beyond just getting a laptop and a Slack invite.
HR Mentoring and Support (~20%)
Mentoring the HR team: Being a sounding board for the HR team on judgment calls, escalations, and how to handle unfamiliar situations.
Guiding HR Strategy: Working alongside the HR team on performance frameworks, policy, and process design, without owning the day-to-day execution of it.
Connecting TA and HR: Making sure market insights (comp benchmarks, candidate expectations, attrition signals) actively inform how HR builds its frameworks.
What This Role Is
- A doers' seat: You are sourcing, screening, and closing candidates yourself, not just managing a dashboard.
- Coach and Manage: Manage the other TA and HR team members and their outcomes.
- Built for range: In a given week you might be closing a candidate, sitting in on a policy discussion, and coaching someone on how to handle a tricky HR conversation.
- A growth track: As the team and function scale, this role is a natural path towards a comprehensive TA/HR leader position.
Pay: Up to ₹4,500,000.00 per month
