Head of Talent Acquisition

About Us

Stantech AI builds enterprise-grade products designed to be fully customised — fitting each organisation precisely while staying scalable and cost-efficient at any size. On top of this, we embed AI-driven automation that streamlines operations and raises efficiency across the business. What sets us apart is resolving what most systems treat as trade-offs: deep customisation without sacrificing scale, and sophistication without excess cost.

The Role

You will own hiring end to end at Stantech AI. This is a recruitment-first role: sourcing, screening and closing the engineers, sales professionals and operators who will define the next stage of the company. You will work directly with the founder and function heads, run a tight and fast process, and build the systems — pipelines, tooling, employer brand — that let us hire well at speed.

What You Will Do

• Own the full recruitment cycle across engineering (backend, mobile, DevOps), sales (business development, channel sales) and support functions — from role definition to offer acceptance and onboarding
• Build and maintain active candidate pipelines on LinkedIn Recruiter, Naukri and referral networks, so that priority roles are never started from zero
• Use AI tools across the workflow — sourcing, JD drafting, screening, outreach personalisation, interview scheduling and reporting — and continuously refine how we apply them
• Partner with hiring managers to define role scorecards, structure interviews and calibrate on candidate quality
• Run first-round screens with rigour: assess capability, motivation and fit before candidates reach technical or founder rounds
• Manage offers, notice periods and pre-joining engagement to protect against dropouts
• Support core people operations — onboarding, documentation and HR process hygiene — as the team grows

What We Are Looking For

• 4+ years in talent acquisition, with a meaningful share of that hiring for a technology company or product start-up
• Demonstrated success closing engineering roles; comfort with sales hiring is a strong plus
• Fluent, hands-on command of LinkedIn Recruiter and Naukri; you know how to work a search, not just post a job
• Genuine, day-to-day use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or similar) in your recruiting work — not as a novelty, but as part of how you operate
• Sharp judgement on people: you can read a CV in a minute, spot signal in a 20-minute call and defend your recommendation
• Ambitious and early in a strong career trajectory, looking to take real ownership rather than a slice of a larger function

Why Stantech AI

• Direct line to the founder and complete ownership of the hiring function
• A product-led, AI-forward environment where modern tooling is the default, not the exception
• Fast, decisive hiring processes — we move quickly on the right candidates

Compensation

• ₹15–25 LPA, commensurate with experience
