Job description

IndieFolio is disrupting the traditional creative agency model by empowering leading brands to assemble custom creative teams, delivering world-class quality. We connect top brands with India's finest creative talent in design, video, and content, leveraging advanced technology and industry expertise to streamline the process. Our curated network of professionals, combined with a data-driven approach, ensures exceptional results and unmatched efficiency. With a proven track record and a commitment to innovation, IndieFolio is transforming how businesses access and collaborate with top-tier creative talent. We are scaling our team and operations, seeking independent, responsible, and accountable individuals to join our dynamic team.

About the Role

We’re looking for a proactive and resourceful Talent Sourcing Specialist to join our Talent team. Your goal is simple — find, attract, and engage the best creative and marketing talent across the web. Whether it’s spotting a great designer on Behance, a strategist on LinkedIn, or a video editor on Instagram, you’ll know where to look and how to start the right conversation.

What You'll Do

• Partner with hiring managers and account leads to understand role requirements.
• Build and execute targeted sourcing strategies across multiple platforms (LinkedIn, Behance, Dribbble, Instagram, Discord, etc.).
• Maintain and update candidate pipelines in our ATS (Keka Hire).
• Engage candidates through personalized outreach — not just InMails.
• Identify niche talent pools (AI, Web3, motion design, etc.) and build long-term relationships.
• Use Boolean, X-ray, and other search techniques to identify passive talent.
• Track sourcing metrics — response rates, conversion ratios, time-to-fill.
• Collaborate closely with the recruitment and platform operations team to ensure a great candidate experience.

What You'll Bring

• 1–2 years of sourcing experience (agency or in-house).
• Deep knowledge of creative/marketing/tech ecosystems.
• Hands‑on experience with sourcing tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, Apollo, or PhantomBuster.
• Familiarity with ATS platforms (Keka Hire, Workable, Lever, or similar).
• A data‑driven mindset — you measure what you improve.
• Curiosity and persistence — you know how to find people no one else can.
• Great communication skills — you write like a human, not a template.

Bonus Points

• Experience sourcing for freelancers, creative roles, or agency setups.
• Understanding of AI or emerging tech talent spaces.
• You’ve built sourcing automations or talent databases before.

Why Join Us

• Work with the best: Collaborate with some of the best global brands and top leadership in the industry.
• Hypergrowth Opportunity: Be part of a company experiencing explosive 500%+ annual growth with the potential to scale by 100x in just 3 years!
• Continuous Development: Refine your skills and leadership through continuous training and the support of a collaborative team.
• Own Your Impact: Enjoy a high‑trust environment where your contributions are valued, your voice is heard, and your ownership mindset is celebrated.
• Flexibility & Autonomy: Embrace a remote‑first culture that empowers you to design your ideal workday, focusing on results and maximizing your productivity.
• Vibrant & Collaborative Community: Connect with a passionate team of creative thinkers and innovators who share your dedication to excellence and making a difference.
• Competitive Compensation & Perks: Benefit from a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits package, and opportunities for professional development to fuel your growth.
