Talent Acquisition Specialist / IT Recruiter

Job Summary

We are looking for a Senior Recruiter to own end-to-end hiring for technical roles across TechGrit and our client engagements. This is an individual-contributor role for someone who can work independently: take a requirement from intake to offer with minimal supervision, manage multiple open roles in parallel, and act as a trusted hiring partner to delivery leaders and clients. You will build pipelines for hard-to-fill technical profiles, keep candidate quality high, and bring structure and data to how we hire.

Key Responsibilities

End-to-End Recruitment

• Own the full recruitment cycle independently — requirement intake, JD creation, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and pre-joining follow-up.

• Manage 8–12 concurrent open positions across technology stacks (.NET, Java, MERN, Cloud/DevOps, QA, Data, AI/ML, Mobile) and seniority levels up to Architect and Engineering Manager.

• Conduct first-level technical and cultural screening to ensure only well-matched profiles reach technical panels and clients.

• Drive offer closure — compensation discussions, counter-offer handling, and notice-period management to minimise drop-offs.

Sourcing & Pipeline Building

• Source actively through Naukri, LinkedIn Recruiter, Hirist, job boards, referrals, and professional communities; run boolean and X-ray searches for niche skills.

• Build and maintain talent pipelines for recurring and hard-to-fill roles so that shortlists can be shared within 48–72 hours of a new requirement.

• Coordinate with external recruitment partners and interview-panel vendors — share briefs, review submissions, and track vendor performance.

Stakeholder & Client Management

• Partner with delivery leaders and hiring managers to understand role needs, calibrate profiles, and advise on market availability and compensation.

• Present candidates to clients with clear, well-structured profile summaries and manage client interview scheduling and feedback loops.

• Work across India and US time zones as needed to support client-facing hiring.

Process, Data & Candidate Experience

• Maintain accurate, up-to-date records in the ATS / hiring tracker and report weekly on pipeline status, time-to-fill, source effectiveness, and offer-acceptance rates.

• Prepare candidates for technical and client interviews so they present their experience accurately and confidently.

• Ensure a timely, professional, and transparent candidate experience at every stage.

• Contribute to improving recruitment processes, screening frameworks, and employer-branding initiatives; use AI tools to speed up sourcing, screening, and outreach.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• 5–8 years of recruitment experience, with at least 4 years hiring for IT / software engineering roles in a product, services, or IT staffing company.

• Proven track record of independently closing mid-to-senior technical positions end-to-end.

• Solid understanding of technology stacks and roles — able to read a JD and a resume and judge technical fit before a panel does.

• Strong sourcing skills across Naukri, LinkedIn Recruiter, and other channels, including boolean search.

• Excellent communication and negotiation skills; comfortable engaging with senior candidates, hiring managers, and clients.

• Highly organised and self-driven — able to prioritise multiple requirements and meet tight turnaround times without close supervision.

• Working proficiency with ATS tools, MS Excel / Google Sheets, and MS Office.

• Bachelor's degree in any discipline; MBA / PG in HR is a plus.

Preferred Skills

• Experience hiring for US or international clients, including client-facing candidate submissions.

• Exposure to niche hiring — Cloud Architects, AI/ML engineers, Data engineers, or Mobile engineers.

• Experience managing recruitment vendors and interview-panel partners.

• Hands-on use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or similar) in the recruitment workflow.

• Familiarity with recruitment metrics and building hiring dashboards.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to own hiring for a growing AI-first engineering organization, with real influence on who joins and how we hire.

• A collaborative, ownership-driven culture where independent work and initiative are valued.

• Competitive compensation aligned with experience and market benchmarks.
