• You’re both hands‑on and strategic — ready to lead by example while mentoring your team.
• You’re data‑informed, but driven by instinct and people insights.
• You believe in quality over quantity — raising the hiring bar, not lowering it.

• You take ownership — you don’t wait for direction, you make things happen.

You’ll Excel in This Role If You...

• Have a strong eye for talent — spotting high performers quickly and objectively.
• Are a skilled communicator — confident in managing stakeholders at all levels.
• Balance strategic thinking with operational execution.
• Enjoy building — processes, playbooks, sourcing strategies, and team capability.
• Are highly organized, detail‑oriented, and thrive under multiple priorities.
• Bring a sense of urgency, ownership, and pride to every hire.

The Right Fit Has...

• 3 to 6+ years of experience in end-to-end recruitment, including at least 1 year in a leadership or senior role.
• Proven track record hiring across multiple functions in a fast‑paced tech or startup environment.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Experience with ATS platforms, sourcing tools, and recruitment analytics.
• A problem‑solving mindset, emotional intelligence, and passion for people.
• (Bonus) Experience hiring for tech, AI, or digital product roles.
• (Bonus) Exposure to regional hiring across ASEAN.

Why Join BJAK
