Employment

Full-Time

This is not a transactional recruiting role. We are looking for a strategic talent hunter who will own end-to-end hiring for niche, senior, and leadership profiles — the kind of people who are hard to find, rarely active on job boards, and worth the effort.

As our Senior Recruiter, you will be a trusted partner to business leaders, designing forward-looking talent pipelines for critical roles before the need becomes urgent. You will build teams — not just fill seats — and your impact will be visible at the highest levels of the organization.

Key Responsibilities

Leadership & Niche IT & Non IT Hiring

• Own full-cycle recruitment for senior individual contributor, managerial, and leadership niche IT and non IT roles across all business functions.

• Collaborate with BU heads and C-suite to define sharp, nuanced hiring briefs that go beyond job descriptions.

• Manage executive-level candidate relationships with discretion and professionalism.

Outbound Sourcing & Headhunting

• Drive proactive, outbound talent acquisition via LinkedIn Recruiter, industry communities, alumni networks, and targeted direct outreach.

• Minimal dependence on inbound applications or job portals such as Naukri — ability to find passive candidates is a core expectation.

• Write compelling, personalised outreach messages that earn responses from high-value passive candidates.

Industry Mapping & Talent Intelligence

• Build detailed talent maps for key roles — identifying target companies, relevant titles, career trajectories, and talent movement patterns.

• Track competitor hiring activity and flag emerging talent pools relevant to Neolytix's growth needs.

• Maintain a continuously updated, warm pipeline of pre-qualified candidates for critical roles.

Stakeholder Partnership

• Function as a true talent advisor — challenge briefs when needed, bring market insights, and manage hiring manager expectations proactively.

• Report on pipeline health, time-to-fill, source effectiveness, and offer acceptance rates with data-driven clarity.

Employer Branding & Candidate Experience

• Champion a best-in-class candidate experience that reflects Neolytix's values throughout the hiring process.

• Contribute to Neolytix's presence on LinkedIn and relevant platforms to attract top talent organically.

• Represent the Neolytix brand with conviction when engaging prospective candidates.
