We are a fast-growing fintech startup, founded by a global team of industry veterans from iconic organizations like SWIFT and Thomson Reuters.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for a driven and outcome-focused Talent Acquisition Partner to support our hiring needs on a 6‑month fixed term contract, with potential for renewal. In this role, you’ll play a hands-on part in delivering high‑velocity, end‑to‑end recruitment across a variety of roles, partnering closely with hiring managers to secure high‑quality talent in a competitive market.

You’ll take ownership of the full recruitment lifecycle — from proactive sourcing and headhunting to offer management and pre‑boarding — with a strong emphasis on direct sourcing, data discipline, and candidate experience. This role is well‑suited for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment, is comfortable managing multiple concurrent requisitions, and brings strong stakeholder management and closing skills.

This is a fixed term contract role (6 months), reporting to the Director of Operations, based in KL Eco City (hybrid)

Core Responsibilities:

• Lead high-velocity end-to-end hiring using a modern tech stack, combining precision sourcing with strong closing skills to secure top talent quickly. 

• Execute advanced headhunting strategies to ensure 60% of hires come from direct outreach. 

• Optimize referral programs and manage agency partnerships for niche or hard-to-fill roles, ensuring cost-effective and targeted recruitment outcomes 

• Collaborate with hiring managers to define job descriptions, build structured interview scorecards, and provide data-driven market insights that shape hiring decisions and workforce planning. 

• Pre-boarding & Onboarding: Manage the critical notice-period engagement to minimize candidate drop-offs, ensuring a seamless handover to People Operations and a positive Day 1 experience. 

• Maintain 100% data hygiene in ATS (Workable), leveraging AI sourcing tools to "rediscover" silver-medal talent. 

• Opportunity to expand into adjacent People functions such as employee engagement and employer branding, leveraging recruitment expertise in storytelling, analytics, and stakeholder partnership. 
   

Requirements:

• Proven track record of in-house recruitment experience, finding "passive" talent without relying on inbound applications 

• Skilled at handling multiple concurrent requisitions across different jurisdictions while maintaining quality and speed. 

• Ability to track and report on funnel metrics (e.g., Sourced-to-Interview conversion) to justify ROI 

• Good at offering and negotiation, and managing notice periods in competitive markets  

• Deep understanding and hands-on usage of ATS workflows
• Driven to expand expertise into adjacent areas such as employee engagement, employer branding, and broader People initiatives, contributing to long-term organizational culture and talent strategy 
• Exceptional English verbal and written skills for high-conversion outreach messaging 
• Excellent stakeholder management in a high growth international environment  
• Strong integrity and a sense of ownership, taking full accountability for tasks and outcomes; passion to hassle 
• Detail-oriented, highly organized, and calm under pressure 
• Ability to sprint independently and act as a reliable team member

You will work with a team of world-class fintech and payments veterans to shape up the future of payments, and will also have:

• Excellent growth opportunities in global payment services technology
