About Us
The Wellness Shop is a fast-growing D2C beauty and personal care brand under Urbaine Consumer India Pvt. Ltd. We operate across e-commerce, quick commerce, and offline retail — and we are scaling fast. We need a sharp, execution-focused Talent Acquisition Specialist who has lived the chaos of agency recruiting and can now build something from the inside.
Who We Are Looking For
Not a coordinator. Not someone who posts jobs and waits. We need a hunter — someone who has spent years in a recruitment agency or consultancy, knows how to close difficult roles fast, has hired across e-commerce functions end-to-end, and can roll up their sleeves while also guiding a small team. If you thrive in a startup environment, own your numbers, and treat hiring as a business function — this role is for you.
Key Responsibilities
Talent Acquisition & Sourcing
- Own end-to-end recruitment across all levels — junior to leadership
- Build and maintain a strong active + passive candidate pipeline across e-commerce, sales, marketing, operations, SCM, and marketplace functions
- Source aggressively via Naukri, LinkedIn, Apna, Instagram, referrals, and direct headhunting
- Write sharp, compelling job descriptions that attract the right talent
- Reduce time-to-hire without compromising on candidate quality
E-Commerce & Functional Hiring
- Hire across key e-commerce roles: Marketplace Managers, Account Managers (Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, Blinkit, Zepto), Category Managers, SCM/Logistics leads, Growth & Performance Marketing, D2C Operations, Customer Experience, and more
- Understand role nuances — know the difference between a marketplace ops person and a performance marketer
- Build role-specific evaluation frameworks and screening criteria with department heads
Agency Mindset, In-House Execution
- Apply agency-level speed, discipline, and hustle to internal hiring
- Maintain a tracker with daily/weekly hiring metrics: sourced, screened, interviewed, offered, joined
- Run structured hiring processes: JD → sourcing → screening → interview scheduling → offer → joining
- Manage vendor/consultant relationships when needed for niche roles
Stakeholder Management
- Work closely with department heads to understand hiring needs, team culture, and role fitment
- Set realistic timelines and communicate progress proactively
- Push back on vague requirements — bring structure to the hiring process
- Present shortlists with clear candidate summaries, not just CVs
Team Handling
- Guide and manage a small TA team or recruiting coordinators
- Set daily targets, review pipelines, and ensure accountability
- Mentor junior team members on sourcing techniques and screening quality
- Create SOPs for hiring workflows that the team can follow consistently
Employer Branding & Candidate Experience
- Ensure every candidate has a professional, timely experience regardless of outcome
- Contribute to employer branding on LinkedIn and job portals
- Manage company presence on Glassdoor, AmbitionBox, and LinkedIn proactively
You Must Have
- 5+ years of experience in talent acquisition — with a mandatory stint in a recruitment agency or HR consultancy
- Proven track record of hiring across e-commerce functions: sales, marketplace, SCM, operations, marketing, quick commerce
- Experience handling a team of recruiters or coordinators
- Startup experience — you are comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and zero hand-holding
- Strong sourcing skills beyond job portals — LinkedIn headhunting, referrals, community networks
- Excellent communication and negotiation skills — you can sell the opportunity, not just screen candidates
- High ownership mindset — you track your own numbers and don't wait to be chased
Good to Have
- Prior in-house TA experience in a D2C, FMCG, or e-commerce company
- Exposure to quick commerce hiring (Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart ecosystems)
- Familiarity with GreytHR or any ATS
- Experience building hiring SOPs or TA playbooks from scratch
What Makes This Role Different
This is not a support role. You will have direct access to leadership, real hiring mandates, and the authority to build the TA function the right way. If you have spent years closing roles for clients and want to now build something of your own — this is the seat for you.
