Sr. Recruitment Specialist - Talent Acquisition

Experience: 5–8 Years

Role Type: 100% Hands-on Recruitment | Individual Contributor

About the Role

We are looking for a hardcore recruiter who can independently manage high-volume bulk and lateral hiring across multiple functions and locations. This is not an HR Generalist/HR Operations role.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end recruitment: sourcing, screening, interviews, negotiation, offer closure and joining.


• Manage 20+ concurrent requisitions while meeting defined TATs.


• Drive bulk hiring through walk-ins, hiring drives and campus initiatives.


• Handle niche and mid-to-senior lateral hiring through targeted sourcing.


• Leverage Naukri, LinkedIn Recruiter, IIM Jobs, Indeed, Foundit, referrals and other sourcing channels using Boolean/X-ray search.


• Partner with hiring managers, challenge unrealistic requirements and drive timely decisions.


• Manage offer negotiations, counter-offers and candidate engagement through joining.


• Maintain strong ATS hygiene, recruitment MIS and reporting.


• Track and improve TAT, cost per hire, source mix, offer-to-joining ratio and quality of hire.


• Build a strong ready-to-hire talent pipeline for recurring and critical roles.

• 5–8 years of hands-on recruitment experience with strong bulk + lateral hiring exposure.


• Proven ability to manage 20+ open positions simultaneously.


• Strong expertise in job portals, sourcing tools, Boolean/X-ray search and ATS.


• Excellent stakeholder management, negotiation and candidate-closure skills.


• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, target- and TAT-driven environment.


• Experience in industrial, manufacturing, retail, B2B distribution, sales/operations or similar sectors is preferred.


• Bachelor's degree required; MBA/PGDM-HR is an advantage.

Ideal Candidate

A hunter, closer and recruitment expert who thrives on volume, owns numbers, pushes stakeholders for timely decisions and takes complete accountability from requisition to joining.
