• Provide weekly reporting and analytics to hiring managers and the Head of TA, using data to track progress and identify improvements.
• Conduct talent mapping and market intelligence to support proactive hiring and better decision-making.
• Continuously review and enhance TA processes, especially around strategic sourcing and candidate experience.
• Stay current with Web3/crypto talent trends, bringing insights into how to attract and engage top talent in the space.
• Collaborate with People/HR teams on cross-functional initiatives.
• Able to think outside the box to create new ways of sourcing and building a strong pipeline. Shows creativity in finding talent.

What We Are Looking For

• 5–7 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with solid exposure to tech/engineering and generalist functions.
• Strong understanding of the Web3/crypto industry, including key talent pools and hiring challenges.
• Fluent in Mandarin and English, both written and spoken.
• Proven ability to work independently and manage recruitment workflows with minimal supervision.
• Excellent stakeholder management and business partnering skills.
• Strong analytical mindset; comfortable working with recruitment metrics and reporting tools.
• Experience with ATS platforms and sourcing tools (e.g., LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Web3-focused platforms).
• Prior experience hiring across APAC or in high-growth tech environments is a plus point.
