WHERE DOES THIS ROLE FITS IN BIGGER PICTURE:

We like to think of ourselves as learning implementers – practitioners at heart, committed to action and iteration, yet equally dedicated to measuring, learning, and improving everything we do.

As a Talent Acquisition Manager, you will play a critical role in building the organization’s most important asset, its people. You will be responsible for attracting, engaging, and hiring high-quality talent across levels, ensuring alignment with Medha’s mission and culture.

• Ensure a smooth and positive candidate experience throughout the recruitment process.
  


• Support in onboarding process.
  


• Maintain a database of strong candidates who may be considered for future opportunities.
  


• Build talent pipelines for recurring and hard-to-fill roles.
  


• Analyze the key barriers in our abilities to attract and retain talent and work closely with HR to help strengthen the organization’s positioning as an attractive non-profit to work for.
  


• Identify and develop relationships with avenues and agencies (such as headhunters, recruitment portals, alumni and partner networks, colleges and universities) who can help us recruit talent.
  


• Perform additional tasks, as required, by the People dept.
