Senior Technical Recruiter

Senior Recruiter IT Services Hiring (Niche + Volume)

Experience: 4–7 years | Location: [Chennai / hybrid] | ATS: Zoho Recruit

What this role really is

We're hiring someone who can own hiring end to end without being managed through it. You'll sit directly with business leaders and delivery heads, translate a vague requirement into a real sourcing strategy, and then go execute it yourself — not hand it to a team.

Two things define success here: niche closures (Boomi, Databricks, Incorta, .NET + React full stack — roles where there are maybe 200 relevant people in the market and you need to know where they sit) and volume with quality (closing a heavy monthly load without your selection ratio falling apart).

What you'll own

• Full lifecycle for contract, C2H, and permanent roles — requirement intake through joining follow-up, including drop-risk management between offer and DOJ.
• Direct partnership with HRBPs, hiring managers and business leaders. Push back on unrealistic requirements, propose alternate profiles, close the loop on feedback delays.
• Market mapping and pipeline strategy for niche stacks: knowing which companies, which cities, which communities, and which vendors actually have Boomi/Databricks/Incorta talent — and building a warm bench before the requirement lands.
• High-volume technical hiring across .NET, React, full stack, data engineering, QA automation, ServiceNow, SQL, MuleSoft, BA, PM, and tech lead roles.
• Sourcing across Naukri, LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, alumni and community networks, and passive outreach — not portal-only.
• Vendor management: onboarding, briefing, quality control, and cutting partners who send noise.
• Screening and technical shortlisting sharp enough that hiring managers trust your submissions.
• Offer rollout, BGV and documentation, onboarding coordination.
• Zoho Recruit ownership — clean data, accurate stages, working dashboards. You should be able to build reports, configure workflows, and use it as a decision tool, not a filing cabinet.
• Weekly reporting on pipeline health, source effectiveness, TAT, offer-to-join ratio, and where the funnel is leaking.

Must have

• 4–7 years of IT recruitment inside an IT services or consulting firm (not a pure product or corporate-only background).
• Demonstrated high-volume closures in a single month, with a quality bar you can defend — bring numbers.
• Hands-on niche hiring in at least two of: Boomi, MuleSoft, Databricks, Incorta, .NET/React full stack, data engineering.
• Both contract staffing and permanent hiring experience.
• Zoho Recruit hands-on. Working knowledge of reports, pipelines, and workflow setup.
• Comfortable presenting to and being challenged by senior business stakeholders.
• Strong negotiation skills, especially on counter-offer and multi-offer situations.

Nice to have

• Recruitment analytics and dashboarding, workforce planning inputs.
• Employer branding, talent community building, automation of recruiter workflows.
• Exposure to broader TA or HR projects.
