Senior Talent Acquisition Partner

Role Summary:

 

We are looking for a seasoned recruiter to lead high-volume lateral hiring and campus recruitment for a fast-growing KPO. The role involves end-to-end recruitment ownership—from workforce planning and sourcing strategy to offer closure and onboarding—while ensuring speed, quality, and a strong candidate experience at scale.

 

Key Responsibilities:

 

1) Volume / Bulk Hiring

Drive bulk hiring across multiple process lines, roles, and locations based on business ramp-up plans.

Manage end-to-end recruitment: sourcing, screening, interview coordination, selection, offer rollout, documentation, and joining.

Plan monthly/quarterly hiring roadmaps aligned to targets, attrition backfills, and new business requirements.

Conduct and manage walk-ins, mass hiring drives, and virtual hiring events, ensuring smooth execution and logistics.

 

2) Campus Hiring

Plan and execute campus hiring initiatives including college tie-ups, calendar planning, pre-placement talks, and hiring drives.

Coordinate assessments, interview panels, selection lists, offer issuance, and joining pipelines for fresher batches.

Partner with L&D/onboarding teams to ensure batch readiness and seamless fresher onboarding.

3) Sourcing & Channel Management

Build and manage diverse sourcing channels: job portals, consultants/vendors, referrals, social media, and internal databases.

Develop continuous talent pipelines for recurring/high-volume roles through proactive sourcing and talent mapping.

Drive referral programs and recruitment marketing initiatives to improve response rates and reduce cost-per-hire.

 

4) Stakeholder & Vendor Management

Partner with business/operations leaders to forecast hiring demand, define priorities, and manage TAT.

Manage consultant/vendor performance: SLAs, closures, pipeline quality, and commercial coordination (as applicable).

Align with HR Ops/Compliance teams to ensure documentation accuracy and process adherence.

 

5) Reporting, Analytics & Process Excellence

Maintain ATS hygiene and track hiring dashboards including funnel metrics, source performance, aging, offer-to-join ratio, and cost-per-hire.

Provide regular MIS updates to leadership with insights and corrective action plans to improve conversion and speed.

Identify and drive process improvements to enhance candidate experience, reduce dropouts/no-shows, and improve quality-of-hire.

 

6) Candidate Experience & Onboarding

Ensure a smooth candidate journey from first contact to onboarding.

Drive joining conversion through structured engagement, follow-ups, and issue resolution (offers, documentation, BGV initiation, etc.).

 

What we are looking for:

 

5–7 years of recruitment experience, with strong exposure to volume/bulk hiring and campus hiring.

Prior experience in KPO, BPO, or ITES hiring is strongly preferred.

Proven ability to close large hiring mandates within tight timelines and changing business requirements.

Strong stakeholder-management and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with senior operations leaders.

Hands-on experience with ATS/HRMS tools, recruitment analytics, and reporting.

Strong execution orientation and comfort working in a fast-paced, target-driven environment.

Willingness to work extended hours or weekends during hiring drives, as required.

Must be based in Hyderabad or willing to relocate; this is a work-from-office role.

Demonstrated career stability, with no more than three company changes in the last five years.
