- Maintain a structured tracker of all live postings, expiry dates, and platform-wise response rates
- Candidate Screening & Shortlisting
-
- Review incoming applications and resumes against defined role criteria and scorecards
- Conduct initial phone/video screens to assess communication, motivation, and culture fit
- Maintain a candidate pipeline in our tracking system with clear status tags

- Collect and organise joining documents (ID proof, academic records, emergency contacts) in a secure repository
- Build and maintain an onboarding checklist to ensure a consistent, welcoming experience for every new joiner.
Who You Are

- Obsessively organised: you love trackers, checklists, and closing loops
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment with minimal hand-holding
- Familiarity with LinkedIn Recruiter, Naukri, or any ATS/HRMS tool is a plus but not necessary
What You'll Gain
- End-to-end HR operations experience
