• Continuously improve TA processes, tools, and employer branding to strengthen BlockOffice's positioning in the market.

• Stay current on talent market trends, compensation benchmarks, and competitor hiring activity across the region.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Human Resource Management, Business Administration, or a related field.

• Minimum 5–7 years of dedicated recruitment/talent acquisition experience (in-house TA, headhunting, or recruitment agency) — this is a specialist TA role, not a generalist HR position.

• Senior-level experience required, including hiring for mid-to-senior and leadership roles.

• Experience in financial services, professional/corporate services, legal, accounting, or a related industry strongly preferred.

• Proven track record recruiting across multiple business units, entities, or fast-growing/scaling organisations.

• Excellent stakeholder management skills — confident advising founders and senior leaders on hiring strategy.

• Good interpersonal and communication skills in English.

• Comfortable working independently and taking full ownership of hiring outcomes in a fast-paced environment.
