Technical Talent Acquisition Specialist

A Note from Roshan, Co-founder

Hiring is one of the most important things any company does. It’s where most CEOs spend their time—because the people you bring in determine whether you build something enduring or not. Yet, hiring remains fundamentally broken at the ground level.

With the rise of LLMs, we now have the tools—and the opportunity—to reimagine hiring. Not just automate it, but fundamentally rethink:

• How we spot exceptional talent
• How we capture deep context about the role, the team, the company
• How we match people to missions that matter
• And crucially, how we achieve all this at scale.

We’re looking for someone excited to build this future with us.

Who We Are

We partner closely with PE-backed and Series B+ global companies, enabling them to build world-class teams in India.

Role Overview: Technical Talent Acquisition Specialist

As a Technical Talent Acquisition Specialist, you will own end-to-end hiring for technical roles across India and the US. This involves translating ambiguous needs into crisp search specifications, calibrating quickly, and building repeatable pipelines that deliver bar-raising candidates. You will partner with founders and hiring managers on role design, interview architecture, and decision quality. You'll run structured, signal-rich processes from sourcing to close, leveraging LLMs and other tools to speed research, screening, and documentation. Measuring key metrics and continuously improving the system each cycle will be a core responsibility.

Who You Are

• Technical fluency: You hold a degree in Computer Engineering / Computer Science (CSE) and can parse deep engineering resumes, asking the right second-order questions.
• AI-literate: You are comfortable using LLMs and AI tools to enhance sourcing, screening, and decision-making, and you stay current on how AI is reshaping technical roles.
• Talent bar: You distinguish true high-slope candidates from polished mediocrity and defend the bar.
• Search architect: You design multi-channel sourcing plans, market maps, and long-term talent pools.
• Evaluator: You build clear rubrics, drive structured interviews, and separate noise from signal.
• Closer: You navigate compensation, risk, and motivation to land offers without over-selling.
• Operator: You work fast, write clean notes, manage stakeholders, and keep the funnel moving.
• Systems thinker: You automate repeatable steps, leverage LLMs for speed and recall, and leave artifacts others can use.
• Trust: You build honest relationships with candidates and partners, protect confidentiality, and communicate crisply.
