We are looking for a hands-on Senior Recruiter who can independently manage mandates from search strategy to candidate closure. This is not a CV-sourcing-only role.

- Conduct structured screening and candidate-assessment calls.

- Evaluate experience, achievements, motivation, compensation, notice period and overall fit.

- Prepare concise and factual candidate summaries for clients.

- Manage interview coordination, feedback, candidate engagement and follow-ups.

- Support compensation discussions, offer closure and joining management.

- Maintain accurate candidate and mandate information in the CRM.

- Build reusable talent pools and long-term candidate relationships.

- Provide clients with structured pipeline updates and market feedback.

- Independently manage multiple mandates and take ownership of closures.

Requirements:

- 3 - 6 years of recruitment or executive-search experience.

- Experience handling mid-senior, leadership or specialised roles.

- Strong sourcing, market-mapping and candidate-assessment capabilities.

- Excellent written and verbal communication.

- Confidence interacting with senior candidates, founders and business leaders.

- Strong ownership, attention to detail and follow-through.

- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment.

- Disciplined in maintaining CRM records and recruitment data.

- Experience hiring across VC ecosystem, manufacturing, clean energy, deeptech or leadership roles would be preferred.

- The role offers direct exposure to founders, investors and senior leaders, along with the opportunity to help build a high-quality boutique search firm.
