Talent Acquisition Lead

Bengaluru / Remote | 3–10 years

About Target HR

Target HR is a talent search firm for high-growth product companies from Seed to Series D. We help them hire across Product, Technology, Leadership, GTM, Sales and Marketing.

We work directly with Founders, CXOs, HR Leaders and Business Heads. Our job isn't to forward

profiles. We help clients understand the talent market, define who they actually need, and build their teams.

The role

As an Account Manager, you'll own a portfolio of client relationships and become the go-to person for their hiring. The role combines client management, problem solving, recruitment and business growth.

What you'll do

• Partner with Founders, CXOs, HR Leaders and Hiring Managers on their most important hires.

• Understand the business behind each requirement, not just the JD.

• Define the right talent profile, target companies and search approach.

• Drive searches with our Recruiter's and Sourcer's, and keep the funnel moving.

• Manage interviews, feedback, offers and closures.

• Use market data, such as compensation, talent availability and candidate behaviour, to shape client decisions.

Growing your accounts

Business development here comes from the work itself, not cold calling. As you run searches, you'll build trust with founders and leaders. That trust leads to new mandates within your accounts and introductions to new companies. You'll own the growth of your portfolio.

Why this role is interesting

No two months look the same. You might run a Product leadership search for a Series C fintech, then help a B2B SaaS company build its GTM team, then work with a founder on their first leadership hires.

Over time, you'll learn how businesses are built, how teams are structured, and how talent decisions shape a company's trajectory. It's an education in startups as much as in recruitment.

Who we're looking for

• 3–10 years in recruitment, executive search, talent solutions, B2B sales, consulting or account

management.• You're genuinely curious about startups and how businesses work.

• You're comfortable with numbers and use data to make a case.

• You can own a client relationship end to end without close supervision.

• You want to grow into a larger business role, not stay in a desk role.

Where this can go

Start by owning a set of accounts. Grow them, build your own portfolio and revenue, and eventually your own team.
