Senior Recruiter – Leadership & Sales Hiring (Hunter Profile)

Job Title: Senior Recruiter – Leadership & Sales Hiring (Hunter Profile)

Location: Bengaluru (Whitefield)

Experience: 7–10 Years

Role Overview:

We are looking for a high-impact Senior Recruiter who operates with a strong hunter mindset and thrives on closing hard-to-fill, Leadership and Sales roles. This role is not for transactional recruiters — it requires someone who can aggressively source, engage, and convert top talent in highly competitive markets.

You will play a critical role in building talent pipelines across Sales, Business Development, and Leadership hiring, while acting as a strategic partner to the business in solving hiring bottlenecks.

Job Description:

• Drive end-to-end hiring for niche, business-critical and Leadership & Sales roles with urgency and accountability

• Proactively hunt and engage passive talent using advanced sourcing techniques

• Build strong pipelines for:

• Sales & Business Development (Hunter/Farmer roles)
• Leadership Hiring (Mid to Senior level)
• Key Account Management / Enterprise Sales

• Partner directly with senior stakeholders to define hiring strategy, consult, challenge unrealistic expectations, and push for faster decision-making

• Bring strong market intelligence — talent mapping, compensation benchmarks, competitor insights — to influence hiring plans

• Own and drive offer negotiations, anticipate drop-offs, and aggressively close candidates

• Identify hiring gaps early and course-correct with actionable solutions

• Maintain high velocity in hiring without compromising on quality

Skills Required:

• 7–10 years of proven success in Leadership and Sales hiring, with a strong track record in closing niche roles

• Demonstrated hunter mindset — relentless sourcing, persistence, and ability to convert passive candidates

• Deep hiring experience in the following areas:

• Sales & Business Development roles
• Leadership hiring (Team Leads, Managers, Directors)
• Enterprise / B2B Sales profiles

• Strong stakeholder management skills — ability to provide solutions, push back, influence, and drive decisions

• Excellent negotiation skills with a high offer-to-join conversion rate

• Strong understanding of sales talent markets, compensation trends, and hiring challenges

• Ability to work under pressure, manage multiple high-priority roles, and deliver within tight timelines

Key Differentiators:

• You don't wait for candidates — you go find them

• You're comfortable pushing stakeholders and challenging the status quo

• You treat every role like a business problem to solve, not just a position to fill

• You have a strong sense of urgency and ownership — missed targets are not acceptable

Key Success Metrics:

• Closure of niche/critical and Leadership & Sales roles within defined timelines

• Offer-to-join ratio and candidate conversion rates

• Pipeline strength for passive candidates

• Stakeholder satisfaction and hiring velocity

• Ability to solve hiring bottlenecks independently
