Senior Talent Acquisition Partner (Technology Hiring)

You're not here to fill seats. You're here to build the foundation of Seekho's most critical asset: its people. As our first dedicated Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, you'll design and own the complete talent acquisition strategy for a Series B edutainment platform trusted by millions of learners. You'll partner directly with founders gaining rare visibility into scaling decisions while architecting a recruiting function that enables Seekho's next phase of growth.

This is a legacy role—the person in this seat will define how Seekho hires, how we attract talent, and ultimately, the cultural DNA of our organization as we scale from 100 to 500+ employees.

Responsibilities :

• Strategic Talent Acquisition: Develop hiring roadmap, manage 15–20 concurrent pipelines across all functions, build hiring manager partnerships, and own recruitment KPIs (quality of hire, time-to-fill, diversity)
• End-to-End Hiring Excellence: Own the full recruitment lifecycle for product and engineering roles—driving opportunity planning, deep technical and cultural assessment, structured interviews, competitive sourcing, offer closure, and seamless integration through scalable, well-trained hiring frameworks.
• Employer Branding & Candidate Experience: Build and amplify Seekho’s employer brand by clearly articulating our mission, culture, and growth story, while delivering a personalized, inclusive, and high-quality candidate experience across every hiring touchpoint.
• Team Building & Process Excellence: Design and scale robust recruiting systems by defining clear workflows, standardized JDs, structured assessments, and disciplined ATS usage; mentor and grow the recruiting team while proactively building strong talent pipelines and continuously evolving sourcing strategies to stay ahead of the market.

• 6–9 years of talent acquisition experience in tech/startup environments (agency, in-house recruiting, or VC-backed startup recruiting strongly preferred)
• Proven track record closing technical roles—product managers, full-stack engineers, data engineers, senior specialists
• Direct experience building recruiting functions or scaling teams from 50 → 200+ headcount (Series B/C environment is ideal)
• Deep knowledge of modern recruiting tools and platforms (ATS, LinkedIn Recruiter, Slack, Workday familiarity is a plus)

Mindset & Capabilities:

• Builder mentality: You see recruiting as a function you're constructing, not just executing. You think in systems, processes, and long-term enablement
• Technical acumen: You understand tech roles deeply enough to evaluate candidates authentically and coach non-recruiting hiring managers
• Data-driven approach: You track metrics obsessively (sourcing channel ROI, interview-to-offer conversion, time-to-fill, quality benchmarks) and optimize continuously
• Relationship master: You build genuine partnerships with hiring managers, candidates, and cross-functional teams. You communicate complex hiring strategies in simple terms
• Negotiation & closing skills: You're confident negotiating offers, handling competing offers, and converting strong candidates who have options
• Hustle + precision: You're comfortable doing hands-on sourcing when needed, but you're equally strategic about where to focus your energy for maximum impact
• Cultural alignment: You believe in Seekho's mission. You're passionate about edtech, learning outcomes, and building a diverse team that reflects the communities we serve
