Role

We are looking for a Senior Recruiter to join our team. This is a Bangalore based, Hybrid role, reporting to the Senior Manager Talent Acquisition within the P&C department.

You will lead full-cycle recruitment for GTM roles across India, acting as a strategic partner to Sales leadership. Your mission is to identify, engage, and hire "A-Player" talent while providing deep market intelligence to drive our growth in the region.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

• Lead the room during calibration meetings with senior Sales leadership to align on talent needs and profile requirements
• Act as a subject matter expert on the India talent landscape, providing insights on competitor movements and local compensation nuances
• Utilize advanced headhunting techniques to identify and engage top-tier sales talent from cybersecurity and cloud competitors
• Maintain impeccable data integrity in Greenhouse, using analytics to identify funnel friction points and implement solutions
• Execute high-impact, full-cycle recruitment for GTM roles across the India market

Who You Are (Success Profile)

• You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. You adapt to what’s needed, navigating seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
• You are customer-obsessed. You build deep empathy for the customer—both internal and external—and anchor your decisions in solving their real-world problems. You champion their needs from start to finish, knowing their success is our success.
• You operate with urgency. You understand that in a high-growth environment, speed and quality are not mutually exclusive. You have a relentless focus on execution and a bias for action, delivering high-impact results quickly to win for the customer and the team.
• You are data-driven. You use data and analytics to find the truth, measure what matters, and guide informed decisions. You value evidence over assumptions, replacing "I think" with "I know" to drive better outcomes.
• You lead with integrity. You do the right thing, even when it’s hard. You hold yourself and others to a high standard of accountability and build trust by matching your words with consistent, transparent action.

What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)

• 7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 4 years focused on high-quota-carrying Sales roles within the India SaaS or Cybersecurity ecosystem
• Proven track record of navigating the unique local talent landscape, including experience with notice period negotiations and competing with Tier-1 global tech firms
• Advanced expertise in LinkedIn Recruiter and Boolean search to build consistent pipelines of passive talent
• Experience partnering directly with Country Managers or VP-level Sales leadership to influence hiring decisions using market data
• High proficiency in using Greenhouse or a similar enterprise ATS to manage the recruitment funnel with 100% data accuracy
