Senior Recruiter

Senior Recruiter

Location: Bangalore, India

Experience: 10+ years in product‑led companies; an engineering degree is preferred.

Position Description

A seasoned Senior Recruiter responsible for independently running end‑to‑end hiring for senior, specialist, and business‑critical roles. This is a pure individual‑contributor role that partners closely with leaders to translate business priorities into precise hiring strategies with disciplined execution. The role demands strong judgment, crisp articulation, and high autonomy—owning talent mapping, proactive sourcing, executive‑level candidate engagement, and closure of complex searches. Success is defined by predictable delivery of high‑quality talent and sustained credibility with stakeholders.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Own and deliver end‑to‑end searches for senior, specialist, and leadership roles across Product, Engineering, Enterprise Applications, Marketing, and Corporate functions.
• Partner directly with leaders to clarify business priorities, define the hiring thesis, and align on bar‑raising selection standards.
• Lead talent mapping and market intelligence (competitor benchmarking, org charts, succession pipelines) to anticipate and fill future needs.
• Drive proactive sourcing and passive‑talent engagement using advanced techniques (research‑driven headhunting, Boolean/X‑ray, platforms like LinkedIn, GitHub/Stack Overflow) with high‑touch outreach.
• Run structured, high‑rigor assessment processes—panel design, scorecards, executive debriefs, and evidence‑based decisioning.
• Orchestrate candidate experience at the executive level—expectation‑setting, offer strategy, close plans, and smooth onboarding handoffs.
• Track and report predictability metrics (throughput, conversion, time‑in‑stage, quality at hire) and use insights to improve funnel health.
• Maintain confidentiality and uphold ethical standards in all executive‑level interactions.

Required Skills & Experience

• 10+ years of recruiting experience with a strong track record in product‑led companies, placing senior and specialist talent.
• Demonstrated strength in IC ownership of executive‑facing searches (from market mapping through close).
• Mastery of research‑driven sourcing, passive‑talent engagement, and crafting compelling narratives for senior candidates.
• Excellent judgment, communication, and influence skills; able to frame trade‑offs and drive aligned decisions with leaders.
• Proven ability to run high‑discipline processes across multiple concurrent, business‑critical searches.
• An engineering degree is preferred.

What Success Looks Like

• Consistent, on‑time closures of complex leadership and specialist searches.
• High stakeholder trust and repeat engagement from senior leaders.
• A robust bench/pipeline for priority roles built ahead of demand.
• Clear, data‑backed hiring recommendations that raise the leadership bar.

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Experience in Executive Search or boutique leadership‑hiring environments.
• Depth across Product, Engineering, Cloud, AI/ML, or Enterprise SaaS talent markets.
