We operate on a simple, outcomes-only model: we only win when you make a hire. That keeps us honest and our incentives aligned with yours. Our team is small, seasoned, and moves fast, making this an environment where your work has direct impact and your growth is limited only by your ambition.

You will engage directly with CxOs and HR/TA leaders across cold calls, LinkedIn, and email, opening doors for recruitment mandates and building the pipeline that fuels Recrew's growth. This is a high-ownership role with a clear path to Account Executive within 1-2 years.

Responsibilities

• Run multi-channel outbound prospecting (cold calls, LinkedIn, email sequences) targeting founders, CxOs, and HR/TA heads at Series A-B startups and nano GCCs in India
• Research target accounts to identify hiring triggers: funding rounds, headcount ramp signals, leadership hires, GCC launch announcements, and time outreach accordingly
• Craft personalized outreach sequences tailored to the hiring pain points of each target persona and company stage
• Qualify leads against ICP criteria and hand off sales-ready opportunities to senior closers with full context
• Maintain accurate pipeline data, activity logs, and outreach cadences in CRM with no gaps

• Consistently hit weekly and monthly activity and pipeline-generation targets

Must-Have Requirements

• 2-3 years of outbound B2B sales experience with a track record of cold outreach to CxO, VP, or Director-level stakeholders
• Demonstrated experience selling to HR, TA, or business leaders - recruitment, SaaS, or HR-tech preferred
• Prior experience at a startup or fast-growing company with a high-velocity sales environment
• Proficiency running multi-channel outbound - cold calls, LinkedIn outreach, and email sequences
• Comfortable with high rejection rates and able to sustain consistent activity and energy across long prospecting cycles
• Based in Bangalore with availability to join within 30 days

Nice to Have

• Prior experience selling recruitment or staffing services
• Existing network among HR/TA professionals, startup founders, or GCC heads in India
• Familiarity with outbound tools such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, or similar
• Exposure to GCC or enterprise accounts alongside startup selling
• Demonstrated career intent to grow into a closing/AE role

What We Offer

• Clear, committed path to Account Executive within 1-2 years based on performance
• Direct exposure to founders and senior leadership
• Work at the intersection of AI and recruiting in a category being redefined in real time
• Outcomes-only culture: your wins are visible, recognized, and rewarded
