Contract Talent Partner

Own Full-Cycle Recruiting Across Functions: Manage end-to-end hiring across India and Southeast Asia for roles spanning the entire org — creative, technical, and non-technical of various levels. Run sharp intakes, calibrate on what "great" looks like for each role, and design interview loops that surface signal quickly. 

AI-Powered, Unconventional Sourcing: Use LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) and AI sourcing tools (Gem, hireEZ, LinkedIn Recruiter AI, Clay, Apollo) to identify, research, and engage talent across functions. Go beyond LinkedIn — find creatives on Behance, Dribbble, Substack, and X; engineers on GitHub, Kaggle, and open source; leaders through alumni networks, executive newsletters, and warm-intro mapping. 

Build & Automate Your Own Stack: Treat recruiting like a product. Prototype prompts, wire up workflows, and build lightweight tools that compress time-to-hire and improve match quality. Share what you build with the rest of the talent org so the whole team gets faster. 

Outreach That Actually Converts: Craft personalized, high-signal outreach using AI-assisted research and drafting — and write copy that lands differently for a creative director than for a Sr. Enterprise Sales. Test new angles, measure response rates, and iterate on what works across roles and markets. 

Candidate Experience: Be the kind of recruiter candidates remember for the right reasons — responsive, well-prepared, transparent, and a strong advocate from first message through offer 

Hiring Manager Partnership: Run sharp intakes, drive accountability across interview loops, and keep loops moving. Push back when needed and bring data to the conversation. 

Data-Driven Pipeline Management: Track funnel health, source effectiveness, time-to-hire, and quality-of-hire across markets and functions. Bring weekly insights to hiring managers and leadership, and use the data to refocus where it matters.

Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent practical experience

7+ years of recruiting experience in global, hypergrowth startup environments, ideally SaaS, with a track record of delivering on hiring objectives across functions up to senior roles

AI-native recruiter. You actively use LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or similar) and AI sourcing tools (e.g., Gem, hireEZ, LinkedIn Recruiter AI, Clay, Apollo) in your day-to-day workflow. You can talk credibly about prompts you’ve written, agents you’ve set up, or automations you’ve built — and you have a point of view on where AI helps and where it doesn’t

Builder mindset. You automate your own work instead of grinding through it. You’ve built little tools, scripts, Zaps, or workflows to make yourself faster. You treat your sourcing process like a product you keep shipping improvements to.

Unconventional sourcing instincts. You know that the best candidate is often not on LinkedIn. You’re comfortable finding people through GitHub, Kaggle, Discord, X, conference talks, open-source projects, newsletters, and other off-the-beaten-path channels.
