Senior Talent Partner

Konovo is a global healthcare intelligence company on a mission to transform research through technology- enabling faster, better, connected insights.

Konovo provides healthcare organisations with access to over 2 million healthcare professionals—the largest network of its kind globally. With a workforce of over 300 employees across 5 countries: India, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and the United States, we collaborate to support some of the most prominent names in healthcare. Our customers include over 300 global pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, research agencies, and consultancy firms. 

As we transition from a service-oriented model to a product-driven platform, we are expanding our hybrid Bengaluru-based team. As Senior Talent Partner, you will play a critical role in building the talent density that fuels our companys growth. We believe great companies are built by great people, and you will serve as a culture champion who helps business leaders meet ambitious business outcomes by building exceptional teams. 

This is a hybrid role based out of Whitefield, Bengaluru. You will work UK hours (approximately 2:00-11:00pm IST) with occasional flexibility required to support business needs. 

You will primarily own non-technology hiring for our Bengaluru innovation hub across Sales, Marketing, Delivery, and Finance (with occasional support on other roles as needed). You will do this as you strengthen the systems, documentation, training, and operational discipline that enable scalable recruiting. Youll partner cross-regionally to support global hiring initiatives and maintain consistency in tools, documentation, and quality standards in Konovos Talent function without losing speed or ownership locally. 

You will act as a trusted advisor to hiring leaders, bringing structure, clarity, and accountability to every search. Behind the scenes, you will ensure our hiring bar remains high and our processes disciplined, efficient, and equitable. Externally, you will represent Konovo with professionalism and warmth, cultivating an exceptional candidate experience at every stage. As Senior Talent Partner, your work will be critical to our success.

How You’ll Make an Impact: 

• Own full-cycle hiring across non-technology functions that strengthen our India innovation hub and directly support business growth
• Own searches end-to-end as an individual contributor (intake and job search blueprint design, pipeline, coordination, interviews, offer, close) without a coordinator or sourcer, while partnering with and leveraging hiring managers as accountable partners in the process
• Increase hiring efficiency by reducing time-to-fill and improving candidate conversion 
• Build operational rigour in Greenhouse by continuously optimising workflows, automations, reporting, and documentation to improve visibility and accountability
  
• Operate with urgency and ownership in a lean environment, balancing multiple priorities without waiting for direction
• Drive hiring manager accountability through tight intakes, qualification design, clear scorecards, fast feedback loops, and decision discipline
• Proactively leverage AI and automation to eliminate manual work, improve candidate evaluation quality, and increase recruiting throughput
• When a leader comes with a prescribed approach, you step back to clarify the outcome, surface assumptions and tradeoffs, and use your subject matter expertise to align stakeholders on the most effective path to a high-quality hire.
• Equip hiring managers to make stronger decisions by introducing structured interviewing, clearer evaluation criteria, and data-backed market insights
• Build repeatable hiring playbooks that enable future scale beyond India
• Partner directly with VP Talent, Managing Director, India, and executive leaders to translate business priorities into disciplined hiring plans 
• Elevate candidate experience in a way that improves offer acceptance rates and long-term retention
• Identify process bottlenecks and implement scalable improvements that increase speed without lowering the hiring bar
• Strengthen global recruiting consistency by partnering cross-regionally to standardise tools, documentation, and quality standards
  
• Seek and incorporate feedback quickly, while confidently holding a high hiring bar
• Ensure every candidate interaction reflects Konovos talent values that were smart, nice, and get things done

What We’re Looking For: 

• 3+ years of in-house recruiting experience within a SaaS or technology-led environment
• Demonstrated ownership of full-cycle hiring across multiple functions and seniority levels
• Proven experience configuring and managing ATS workflows, ideally Greenhouse, including job setup, structured interview kits, automation, reporting, and workflow optimisation
• Comfort using AI and automation to reduce manual work (e.g. intake synthesis, outreach drafts, interview kits, reporting, information workflow streams, and documentation). You dont need formal "AI at work" experience, but you should be actively experimenting and able to apply it responsibly
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools into recruiting workflows to drive measurable gains in efficiency or quality
• Strong operational mindset with the ability to build documentation, create structure, and drive process discipline
• Confidence partnering with senior leaders and influencing hiring decisions with data and market insights
• Experience supporting hiring across multiple geographies is a plus
• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing 5+ concurrent searches
• Clear, concise communicator with sound judgement and high integrity
• High EQ with the confidence to challenge when needed and the humility to adapt quickly when coached
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, asking sharp questions early, and adapting quickly as priorities evolve
• Builder mindset- you are willing to do the work hands-on, improve the system as you go, and raise the hiring bar without adding unnecessary process
