About The Role:
We are hiring a Talent Acquisition Specialist / Senior Specialist to own end-to-end recruitment at Indus Insights. You will source, screen, and close high-caliber candidates across business functions- from junior analysts to senior managers — while building a strong pipeline for a firm that is growing fast and hiring constantly.
This role sits within the HR team and works closely with HR Business Partners, the Founders Office, and hiring managers across the firm. You will be the face of Indus Insights to every candidate you engage.
What You Will Do:
End-to-end recruitment
- Own the full hiring cycle for assigned roles: sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer management, and candidate closure
- Manage the candidate pipeline and applicant tracking system — ensuring accurate, real-time data across all active positions
- Build and maintain recruitment dashboards and MIS to give hiring managers and leadership clear visibility into pipeline health
- Lead or support campus recruitment drives, including coordination with college placement cells and event logistics
Sourcing & pipeline building
- Source candidates proactively via LinkedIn, Naukri, iimjobs, Internshala, Boolean search, and employee referrals
- Build and maintain a pipeline of passive candidates through personalized outreach and ongoing relationship management
- Engage professional networks and HR communities to expand Indus Insights talent reach
Candidate management & experience
- Conduct structured pre-screening calls to assess skills, motivation, and cultural fit before advancing candidates to hiring panels
- Coordinate interview schedules efficiently between candidates and interviewers, minimizing back-and-forth and delays
- Ensure every candidate has a positive, professional experience — with timely updates, clear communication, and respectful handling at every stage
- Manage offer conversations with clarity and confidence, including CTC discussions and notice period planning
What We're Looking For:
Must-have
- 6 months - 3 years of experience in talent acquisition or HR recruitment, or a strong demonstrated track record of hiring-related work (internships included)
- Excellent verbal and written communication — you will represent Indus Insights to every candidate you speak with
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple open roles and candidates simultaneously without dropping the ball
- Proficiency in MS Office, particularly Excel (for trackers and MIS) and PowerPoint
- Genuine passion for people, process, and building great teams
Good to have
- Hands-on experience with LinkedIn Recruiter, Naukri Resdex, or any ATS / HRMS platform
- Prior exposure to hiring for analytics, consulting, or professional services roles
- Familiarity with Boolean search, X-Ray sourcing, or other advanced sourcing techniques
- Comfort with ambiguity, a high sense of ownership, and the ability to work with minimal supervision in a fast-paced environment
