Role Description We are looking for a hands-on, resourceful Talent Acquisition Manager / HR Manager to build and lead our talent function from scratch. This is a true 0-to-1 opportunity: you will design our hiring strategy, stand up scalable recruiting processes, and build a high-performing team, all while partnering directly with founders and senior leadership across India and the USA. You will manage a growing team (including a Talent Sourcing Recruiter who supports pipelining across both markets) and own the end-to-end talent agenda, from workforce planning and bulk hiring to vendor management and employer branding. This role is for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes ownership without waiting to be told, and is excited to build something from the ground up rather than maintain something already built. Qualifications - Proven experience managing a team of 6 to 10 people, including hiring, building, and scaling that team from the ground up. - Track record of designing recruiting processes and systems that scale with company growth, not just executing on an existing playbook. - Demonstrated experience building talent pipelines and managing high-volume/bulk hiring across multiple functions. - Experience managing external recruiting vendors, staffing agencies, and other third-party partners, including contract negotiation and performance management. - Comfort operating in ambiguity, and a track record of building talent or HR functions from scratch, ideally at an early-stage or fast-scaling company. - Experience (or strong familiarity) with hiring across both India and the USA is a plus, including compensation norms, sourcing channels, and compliance considerations in each market. - Hands-on experience with multiple ATS platforms, and working knowledge of Rippling (or similar HRIS/payroll systems) is required. - Ability to personally guide candidates through the hiring process, answering questions, setting expectations, and advising on offers, not just managing a pipeline from a distance. - Excellent written and verbal English communication skills; able to represent Cogniify professionally to candidates, vendors, and leadership across geographies. - An "owner's attitude," someone who takes initiative, doesn't wait for permission, and treats the function's success as personal success. - Comfortable with LinkedIn Recruiter and standard productivity tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom). Requirements - Hire, build, and lead a talent acquisition/HR team, setting goals, coaching performance, and developing future leaders within the function. - Design and implement scalable recruiting processes, workflows, and playbooks that can grow with the company across both India and the USA. - Build and own the hiring pipeline strategy, from sourcing channels to interview loops to offer management, ensuring consistency and quality at scale. - Lead high-volume/bulk hiring efforts across engineering, operations, and corporate functions, without compromising candidate experience or quality of hire. - Manage relationships with recruiting vendors, staffing agencies, job boards, and background verification partners across both markets, negotiating terms and holding them accountable to SLAs. - Shape Cogniify's employer brand, including job descriptions, sourcing campaigns, and social presence, to attract top talent in both markets. - Support broader HR functions including onboarding, compliance, and policy-building as the people function matures. Benefits - Internet allowance - Laptop - PF - Paid PTO - Annual Bonus - Graduity - Yearly Team building experiences - Mentorship and sponsorship opportunities - Manager resources and support - Life & accidental insurance for additional protection.
