HR Manager Recruitment & Employee Management
Company: Singhania’s | Location: Hyderabad

We are looking for a hands-on HR Manager who can take complete ownership of recruitment and employee management across our stores, online department, costing, finance and all other departments.

Recruitment is the top priority. We need someone who can identify suitable candidates, confidently explain the opportunity, negotiate within approved salary budgets and company terms, and follow through until candidates join.

This position requires practical, on-ground people management experience, along with the ability to handle attendance, salary calculations and HR paperwork accurately.

Key Responsibilities

1. Complete Recruitment Management

• Understand each department’s hiring requirements, responsibilities and expectations before starting recruitment.
• Manage the entire process: sourcing, screening, interviewing, selection coordination, salary negotiation, offers, joining follow-ups and onboarding.
• Find candidates through job portals, referrals, local networks, recruitment agencies, institutes and colleges.
• Assess candidates beyond their CV, including communication, attitude, skills, reliability and suitability for the actual work.
• Convince suitable candidates to join by clearly explaining the company, opportunity and employment terms.
• Negotiate salaries and joining conditions within management-approved budgets and policies, ensuring candidates understand and agree to the terms.
• Maintain a systematic recruitment tracker and keep department heads informed of progress.
• Reduce candidate dropouts through consistent follow-ups and clear communication.

2. Interview Quality & Role Clarity

• Develop a thorough understanding of the company, its departments, existing employees and working environment.
• Conduct structured first-round interviews and provide management with a clear assessment of each candidate.
• Ensure candidates leave the first interview with confidence in the company and a clear understanding of the role, responsibilities, reporting structure, working hours, salary and expectations.
• Resolve questions early and avoid misunderstandings between what is discussed during recruitment and what is expected after joining.

3. Employee Relations & Retention

• Regularly interact with employees across stores and departments and build professional, approachable relationships.
• Identify employee concerns and reasons for dissatisfaction early, and work with management to address them.
• Handle grievances, workplace conflicts and daily employee issues with fairness, firmness and follow-through.
• Support employee retention through effective communication, practical problem-solving and timely intervention.
• Coordinate with department heads on staffing needs, performance concerns and employee discipline.

4. Company Policies & Management Communication

• Clearly understand company policies, employment terms and management decisions before communicating them.
• Explain decisions and expectations to employees in a clear, consistent and respectful manner.
• Ensure employees understand and follow company policies through regular follow-ups.
• Communicate employee feedback to management and escalate matters that require decisions.
• Maintain appropriate records of policy communication and employee acknowledgements.

5. Attendance & Salary Calculations

• Monitor daily attendance, leave, late arrivals and attendance discrepancies.
• Resolve attendance issues with employees and department heads before payroll deadlines.
• Prepare and verify salary calculations, including approved attendance adjustments, deductions and incentives.
• Coordinate with finance to support accurate and timely salary processing.
• Maintain organised attendance and payroll supporting records.

6. HR Documentation & Exit Management

• Maintain employee files, joining documents, offer letters, appointment letters and other HR records.
• Ensure employment terms and agreed salary details are properly documented.
• Manage onboarding, probation follow-ups, resignations, handovers and exit documentation.
• Handle employee information and salary details confidentially.

What We Are Looking For

• Proven experience in recruitment and hands-on employee management, preferably in retail or another manpower-intensive business.
• Strong communication, persuasion, negotiation and candidate assessment skills.
• A clear, systematic approach to work, with consistent follow-up and ownership.
• Confidence in dealing with store staff, operational teams, office employees and management.
• Ability to maintain good employee relationships while ensuring company expectations are followed.
• Practical knowledge of attendance management, salary calculations, Excel and HR documentation.
• Willingness to visit stores, institutes and recruitment locations as required.

How Success Will Be Measured

• Vacancies filled on time with suitable candidates within approved budgets.
• Strong offer acceptance and actual joining rates.
• Improved employee retention and timely resolution of employee concerns.
• Clear communication and consistent implementation of company policies.
• Accurate attendance, salary calculations and employee records.

We need an HR Manager who can hire effectively, understand people, resolve issues on the ground and take ownership of the complete employee lifecycle. Experience limited to paperwork and administrative coordination will not be sufficient for this role.
