• Ensure recruitment databases and ATS records are accurate and up to date.
• Maintain a strong understanding of the US talent market, compensation trends, candidate availability, and hiring practices.

Required Skills & Experience

• 8--12 years of recruitment experience , with significant experience in US hiring / US staffing.
• Strong experience handling technology and IT positions across different skill sets.
• Proven ability to independently handle multiple requirements and drive them to closure.
• Excellent hands‑on sourcing skills using LinkedIn, job portals, Boolean searches, databases, referrals, and direct sourcing.
• Strong experience managing and working with recruitment vendors / staffing partners.
• Good understanding of the US recruitment lifecycle and US employment market.
• Understanding of common US work authorizations such as US Citizen, Green Card, H-1B, H-4 EAD, L2 EAD, OPT, and CPT.
• Strong candidate screening and assessment capabilities.
• Good understanding of contract, contract-to-hire, and permanent hiring models.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, stakeholder-management, and follow-up skills.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Strong sense of urgency, ownership, commitment, and accountability.

Key Expectations

The successful candidate should be someone who:

• Does not depend only on vendors for profiles and is willing to source candidates independently.
• Takes complete ownership of every assigned requirement.
• Consistently follows up with candidates, vendors, and hiring managers.
• Focuses on closures rather than only submissions or activity metrics.
• Is comfortable working on difficult and niche positions.
• Can prioritize multiple open positions based on business urgency.

Working Hours

Candidates should be comfortable working consistently during the required US shift.

Preferred Background

What We're Looking For
