Job description

About YAAS

YAAS is a content and media company building some of India's most ambitious creator-led IPs. We work at the intersection of storytelling, brand, and culture, producing content that reaches millions across YouTube, Instagram, and beyond.

Hiring is not a support function here. It is the core of how we grow. Seventy percent of founder bandwidth goes into talent. We are now expanding that capacity.

The Role

We are hiring 3 Senior Talent Acquisition Specialists to scale our creative scouting function.

This is not a conventional recruiting role. The talent we hire, presenters, writers, editors, creative leads, does not come with standardised credentials. There is no degree for someone who can hold a viewer's attention for eight minutes. No certification for a writer who makes people care about a niche they knew nothing about an hour ago.

Your job is to find those people before anyone else does. That means pattern-matching from adjacent signals, making informed bets on potential, and building a pipeline of talent the market has not yet priced correctly.

What You Will Do

• Own end-to-end recruitment across creative and corporate roles
• Source talent beyond conventional job boards, identifying high-potential individuals from creator ecosystems, adjacent industries, and referral networks
• Evaluate candidates on taste, instinct, and trajectory, not just experience
• Work directly with founders on hiring strategy and prioritisation
• Build and maintain a living pipeline of talent for roles that may not yet exist

Who We Are Looking For

• 2+ years of recruiting experience in creative services, media production, or a boutique agency environment
• Demonstrated ability to source and close non-standard profiles
• Comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-moving environment
• Based in Bengaluru or willing to relocate

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation
• Direct access to and collaboration with founding team
