Talent Acquisition Specialist

We are looking for a hands-on Talent Acquisition Specialist to own end-to-end hiring across functions from marketing and sales to supply chain, D2C/e-commerce, and corporate roles. This is a high-ownership role suited to someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, is comfortable juggling multiple open roles at once, and takes pride in finding sharp talent quickly without compromising on quality or culture fit.

Responsibilities:

• Full-Cycle Recruitment: Manage end-to-end recruitment cycles across multiple functions and levels from role scoping and job description creation to sourcing, screening, interview coordination, and offer closure.
• Stakeholder Partnership: Partner closely with hiring managers and function heads to understand role requirements, team dynamics, and must-have vs. nice-to-have criteria before kicking off a search.
• Sourcing and Pipeline Building: Build and maintain a strong, active pipeline of candidates through consultants, job portals, LinkedIn, referrals, and proactive sourcing (including Boolean/X-Ray search techniques) rather than relying solely on inbound applications.
• Candidate Experience: Own the candidate journey, ensuring timely communication, a smooth interview experience, and strong employer branding at every touchpoint, particularly important in a consumer-facing, high-growth brand.
• Recruitment Metrics: Track and report on key recruitment metrics (time-to-fill, source effectiveness, offer-to-join ratios) and use data to continuously refine sourcing and screening approaches.
• Offer Management: Negotiate offers in line with internal compensation bands, market benchmarks, and candidate expectations, balancing speed with cost-effectiveness.
• Employer Branding: Support employer branding efforts, including job postings, careers page content, and participation in campus or industry hiring events as needed.
• Process and Documentation: Maintain accurate and up-to-date candidate records in the ATS/tracking system, ensuring a clean and auditable hiring process.

Requirements:

• Minimum 4 years of experience in talent acquisition or recruitment, ideally with exposure to both corporate and high-volume/functional hiring.
• Prior experience hiring for consumer brands, retail, e-commerce, or FMCG; you understand the pace and specific role types (D2C marketing, category management, supply chain, quick commerce) that come with this space.
• Ability to manage multiple open roles simultaneously without dropping quality or momentum on any of them.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills with hiring managers across seniority levels, including senior leadership hiring where needed.
• Strong data orientation and comfort working with recruitment metrics and reporting.
• A proactive, ownership-driven mindset with a bias for speed and action, comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities typical of a scaling start-up.
• Bachelor's or master's degree in human resources, business administration, or a related field.
