Job Description Recruiter

Company: iQuest
Position: Recruiter IT & Non-IT Recruitment
Experience: 1+ Years
Location: Pune / Work From Home
Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced and result-oriented Recruiter to join our recruitment team. The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience in both IT and Non-IT recruitment, with a stronger preference for candidates who have worked on Non-IT / core industry hiring.

Candidates with recruitment experience in Manufacturing, Industrial, Automation, Engineering, Oil & Gas, EPC, Automotive, Infrastructure, or other core industries will be strongly preferred.

This is not a conventional HR/Sales recruitment role. We are specifically looking for recruiters who understand specialized hiring, candidate sourcing, screening, stakeholder coordination, and end-to-end recruitment.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage end-to-end recruitment activities from sourcing to onboarding.
• Source candidates through job portals, LinkedIn, references, databases, and other recruitment channels.
• Screen and shortlist candidates based on technical, functional, experience, and industry requirements.
• Handle both IT and Non-IT recruitment, with greater focus on Non-IT/core industry requirements.
• Understand Job Descriptions and identify relevant candidates accordingly.
• Conduct initial candidate screening and coordinate interviews with clients/hiring managers.
• Maintain candidate pipelines and ensure timely closure of open positions.
• Follow up with candidates throughout the recruitment and joining process.
• Maintain accurate recruitment trackers, databases, and MIS.
• Work against recruitment targets and deliver positions within defined timelines.
• Build and maintain a strong candidate network across relevant industries.

Preferred Industry Experience

Candidates with recruitment exposure to any of the following industries will be preferred:

• Manufacturing
• Industrial Engineering
• Automation
• Oil & Gas
• Engineering & EPC
• Automotive
• Infrastructure
• Heavy Engineering
• Industrial Equipment / Machinery
• Energy
• Construction
• Other Core / Technical Industries

Candidate Profile We Prefer

• 1+ year of professional recruitment experience.
• Experience in both IT and Non-IT recruitment is preferred.
• Ideal exposure: approximately 60% Non-IT + 40% IT recruitment.
• Candidates with predominantly Non-IT recruitment experience are also strongly preferred.
• Strong experience in sourcing candidates for technical, engineering, manufacturing, industrial, or core-sector positions will be an advantage.
• Good understanding of recruitment processes and candidate evaluation.
• Strong communication, follow-up, negotiation, and coordination skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple requirements simultaneously.
• Target-oriented and comfortable working in a fast-paced recruitment environment.

Important Profiles We Are NOT Looking For

We are not looking for candidates whose experience is primarily limited to:

• Telecalling
• HR Sales
• Recruitment Sales
• Business Development
• Purely target-based calling roles
• Generalist HR without meaningful recruitment exposure
• Profiles with no exposure to technical/core-industry hiring

Preference will be given to recruiters who have actually recruited for technical, industrial, engineering, manufacturing, automation, Oil & Gas, or similar core-sector requirements.
