Job summary

Flam is looking for a Founding Recruiter to build and scale our talent engine as we grow post‑Series A across India and global markets. You will work directly with the founders and business leaders to hire world‑class talent across engineering, AI, product, GTM and creative, and to architect the processes, tools and rituals that will power our next phase of growth.

You’ll own full‑cycle hiring, define interview loops, build top‑of‑funnel, optimize processes, and align talent strategy with Flam’s

Qualifications

  • 4–8 years in full-cycle recruiting, preferably in high-growth startups.
  • Experience hiring for engineering and GTM roles.
  • Founding/talent-partner experience or potential to act as first recruiter in a growing company.

Responsibilities

  • Own full-cycle hiring for priority roles across GTM, Product, Design, Marketing, and Founders’ Office.
  • Define role scorecards, interview loops, and hiring bars with founders and functional leads.
  • Build high-quality top-of-funnel through outbound, talent communities, events, and referrals — not just inbound applications.
  • Own candidate experience end-to-end: communication, feedback loops, interview readiness, and a fast process across India and global roles.
  • Set up recruiting processes, simple dashboards, and reporting to give founders real-time visibility into hiring funnels and market insights.
  • Partner on employer branding — job descriptions, founder-led content, events and touchpoints that reflect Flam’s culture and ambition in AI + MR.
  • Act as a thought partner on org design, headcount planning and compensation benchmarks for early leadership and IC hires.
