Senior Talent Acquisition Associate

Location: Delhi NCR

Experience: 2–5 years

Role summary

We’re hiring a hands-on Senior Talent Acquisition Associate to run high-volume, end-to-end hiring for Pocketful. You’ll own sourcing, screening, ATS workflows, stakeholder coordination, offer management and onboarding across roles. This is a doer role — you’ll be expected to move fast, improve hiring metrics, and build repeatable processes for scale.

Key responsibilities

• End-to-end recruitment: Manage the full hiring lifecycle — job brief, sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer negotiation and closing, and smooth candidate onboarding.

• Sourcing & channel management: Build pipelines via LinkedIn Recruiter, job portals (Naukri/Indeed), employee referrals, staffing agencies, campus/college drives and walk-ins. Improve and diversify sourcing channels.

• ATS ownership: Manage job postings, pipelines, interview feedback and pipeline hygiene within our ATS. Ensure data accuracy and timely updates.

• Metrics & reporting: Track & improve hiring KPIs — time-to-fill, time-to-hire, offer acceptance rate, source-of-hire, quality-of-hire and cost-per-hire. Deliver weekly/monthly hiring MIS to leadership.

• Stakeholder management: Partner with hiring managers, RMs, team leads and finance to align on JD, hiring priorities, offer bands and joining timelines. Run interview calibration and debriefs.

• Candidate experience & employer branding: Ensure a high-touch candidate experience, timely communication, and positive offer-to-join journeys. Support employer branding initiatives (events, social hiring campaigns).

• Onboarding handoff: Coordinate pre-joining checks, documentation, initial inductions and handover to Ops/HR so new hires ramp quickly and have a smooth first week.

Required qualifications & skills

• 2–5 years of full-cycle recruitment experience.

• Strong experience managing an ATS and recruitment workflows.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills — able to represent externally and influence internal stakeholders.

• Strong stakeholder management and negotiation skills (offers/salary discussions).

• Data-driven mindset — comfortable tracking metrics in Excel/Google Sheets, building reports and using numbers to improve processes.

• Good sense of hiring funnels, sourcing strategies and candidate screening for entry-to-mid level roles.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment and prioritize multiple open roles.

Preferred

• Experience hiring for Software Engineering roles is a strong plus.

• Familiarity with campus hiring, walk-in drives and agency management.

• Basic understanding of finance/broking operations & role mappings — helps with screening technical hires quickly.
