Description du poste

Senior Technical Recruiter / Talent Strategist (Accel funded)

Lead Technical Recruiter / Talent Strategist

Location: Bengaluru | Hybrid

Company: Series A/B Tech Startups (Accel-funded)

Individual Contributor | Full-Stack Recruiting

Role: If you’ve outgrown ‘req filling’ and want a seat at the strategy table, this will feel like an upgrade. This is not a backfill. This is a 0-to-1 role that will shape how we hire and build for the next three years. You won’t just close roles here; you’ll design how hiring happens for a fast-scaling product company.

About the company: We are a fast-growing, venture-backed tech startup in Bengaluru, building high-impact products and scaling our core team for the next phase of growth. We are seeking a Senior Talent Advisor/Lead Technical Recruiter (8-12 years) who can operate as a strategic individual contributor and trusted partner to founders and CXOs.

What you’ll own

• Lead full‑cycle hiring for mid, senior, and leadership roles across engineering, product, data, design, GTM, and ops.
• Work directly with founders and business leaders to translate organisational plans into clear hiring roadmaps and effective search strategies.
• Build and run multi‑channel cost‑effective sourcing engines utilizing LinkedIn, communities, referrals, events, and creative outbound strategies.
• Run high‑touch, consultative processes with senior talent: talent mapping, deep screening, expectation setting, and offer negotiation.
• Utilise data and market intelligence (comparative benchmarks, talent density, and competition) to inform hiring decisions.
• Elevate candidate experience and tighten hiring funnels, from first touch to onboarding.

What you bring

• 8‑12 years of full‑stack recruiting experience, with strong exposure to high‑growth / startup or product‑first environments.
• A strong track record of closing technical roles (backend, frontend, DevOps, data, architects, EMs) and business roles (product, growth, sales, strategy).
• Proven success as a senior individual contributor recruiter—comfortable owning searches end‑to‑end without a large team.
• You think like a talent strategist: you read org design, understand business models, and advise on “who” to hire and “when”.
• You communicate with clarity, tell a compelling story, and know how to convert passive talent into enthusiastic candidates.

Why is this role special?

• Direct access to founders, CXOs, and functional leaders—your work is visible and business‑critical.
• Freedom to experiment with tools, channels, and playbooks instead of being boxed into legacy processes.
• Opportunity to evolve into Head of Talent as the company and team scale.
