You will own full-cycle recruitment across Sales, Operations, Leadership, and specialized positions, and build a high-performing, aggressive recruiting team capable of delivering speed, quality, and measurable impact.

Process Optimization & ATS Setup

Refine recruitment processes to maximize efficiency, reduce bottlenecks, and improve hiring quality
Establish structured SLAs, evaluation scorecards, and KPI frameworks to drive consistent outcomes
Stakeholder Management
Partner with US leadership and department heads to define role briefs, candidate profiles, and hiring timelines
Communicate proactively on pipeline health, challenges, and risks
Serve as the single point of accountability for all US recruitment outcomes

Requirements

What We're Looking For

Minimum 8+ years in US recruitment, with experience in high-volume, fast-paced sales hiring and leadership positions
Proven team-building and leadership skills—able to manage large teams, mentor recruiters, and instill performance culture
Strong experience with ATS systems setup, reporting, and automation
Exceptional communication and negotiation skills with US stakeholders
Highly aggressive, confident, and results-driven—you take ownership and push the team to achieve ambitious targets
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment with tight deadlines

Benefits
